I'll still wait with the amputating untill it gets much worse since right now all there is are the tips of the fins getting disuloured. I just did a 50% waterchange and my betta seems as happy as ever, swimming around as much as he can in his 2L. Still No improvement to his fins sadly though  Another problem is that I'm gone starting thursday for 1 week and I don't really know how well my parents will take care of my betta even after I tell them how to.

Well I think it is something you can do as a last step if the roting almost reached the body

first off i don't think that your betta has finrot.....it looks more like parts of his fins are changing color.....they do do that you know...(info from my wife..she is the betta expert)
if finrot gets so close to the body that you feel you have to amputate fins ; you haven't been treating...or at least not treating properly...
since i am not real familiar with all of the 3,847 different types of bettas i am only going to try to guess what kind yours is...to me it appears to be a crowntail ; or some variation thereof...fintips often look a little off color...
maybe you might want to leave him alone for awhile and just watch him...
good luck...and enjoy your fish.

He is a crowntail (acording to my Lps), and thank you and thank you to your wife for that information. Tommorrow I'll clean the 5g and put him back into it. I really love this forum, thank you everybody.
