Fin rot is whitish and it is always caused by bad water conditions. The only way to avoid fin rot in any tank is to have a cycled filter running permanently (this biologically removes Ammonia) and repace at least 50% of the water every week.(this reduces the Nitrate) A Betta is a three inch fish and so it should be in at least 3 gallons of water.

It is a misconception that betta fish do not get along with other fish.

Female bettas can be housed with guppies, however.

They are considered fin nippers. However, they are compatible fish for bettas. They are schooling fish so I would at least get 4 or more.

Good luck!

Look at the fish's bottom side. If the "anal fin" is fan shaped the fish is a female, if the fin is thin and pointed like a nozzle then the fish is a male. In the male this fin is called a 'gonopodium'
