i have had my rescue betta for 4 weeks now and noticed his blue fins are getting lots of red in them, is this his normal colouring or could it be something serious

looks normal to me. Bettas come in all different colors and can change colors over time.

Bettas seem to love changing colors... One of mine, a male veiltail named Opal, turns from green to blue to purple and varies the amount of red in his fins entirely at random and at the drop of a pin. I also have a female, named Echo, who was dark brown when I bought her, with blue and green scales down her sides, and she has turned almost completely white. She's now a light reddish-pink.
