The fish has mouth fungus. If you add 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon of water and follow the basic rules below the fish may come good. Once the salt has healed its mouth simply stop replacing it with each weekly water change. The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are as follows. :- 1 inch (2.25cm) of fish needs at least 1 gallon (3.78ltrs) of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules, feed the fish the correct diet and keep the container covered and at 78F a Betta will do OK. I can guarantee that if you don't keep the preceeding rules that your fish will have constant health problems and will live a considerably shorter life.
