I bought him a few days ago and he was already with it. My other betta died with the same problem.

Your fish has been having issues since August? Sadly, sometimes sick fish reach a point of no return...sorry it is just a sad fact of life. Just adding from looking at the pics, the white looks to be just the normal scale coloration. Just a guess, but from the pics of both of the fish, it sure looks like a combo of shipping stress and ammonia/nitrite poisoning...perhaps you might like to read the stickies about the nitrogen cycle that are at the top of the main pages.

this definetely looks like columanris, or fishy tuberculosis.

I would pm Old fish lady AND sakura right away, and to make it easier for the fish to breathe, put him in a smaller container or lower the water level. Hope your little guys gets better, i am sorry he isnt feeling well. :(

My prayers are with you.
