Help, Fin Streaks.

Of course, I am thinking the worst - ammonia poisoning, or something along those lines. He had a couple of red spots on the fins and on his face, but all of a sudden now there are vivid red streaks on a couple of fins, particularly the anal fin, and a streak just right of his eye. I really wish this just looked like a spontaneous color change, but....it's suspicious. Ideas of what it is, or maybe how to treat whatever it is? He is in a one gallon, unfiltered, unheated until I get him a tank and gets 100% changes once every two days.

I can't see the second photo for some reason (well it's blocked at work), so I'm guessing.

Septecemia maybe?

Ammonia poisoning? I sugegst you do 100% water change daily.

The tanks to small for a betta.
Also unfiltered tanks and no heater can lead to stress, and desease.

Check your water stats.

It sounds like septicemia to me.
Make sure there no signs of flicking and rubbing as red spots can also be a sign of parasites, aswell as septicemia.

Water change.
