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.
