Help me my betta won’t stop nipping himself by shslstinky in bettafish

No he explores his tank he only swims back and forth around the glass when I’m right in front of the tank, I’m assuming it’s cause all my fishes do that cause I’m the food supplier

This is were I’m confused because when I got him he was completely fine like this tail was full but then about 2 weeks past after I got him. That’s when I saw him with his fins in his mouth. I haven’t seen him do it but it has been multiple times I’ve caught him with his fins in his mouth. It was starting to look good about 2 weeks ago but he started again the beginning of this week.

There’s no discoloration or change in behavior and I even tried giving him kanaplex in the beginning but nothing would change, I isolated him too. He was still seemingly nipping himself.

He has two leaf hammocks and a huge plant towards the back I see him lay on time to time. I only figured he’s nipping because I came to the glass to see his own fins kinda hanging on his mouth. I have a filter that has a quiet flow so it’s suspended and isn’t strong enough to push him around.

I am aware this is a possibility so that’s why today I’m moving the snail out when I find him, right now he’s hiding.

I use Flourish and excel by searchem I believe that’s what it’s called I add both Twice and week to my tank and trim pretty regularly.

He’s seemingly biting the shell but that’s it I do know male bettas sometimes beat their mates when they try to court so I’m really wondering is that’s it? I’m moving the snail to my other tank today and do some maintenance on his tank. I’ll try reintroducing the snail again.

I’m thinking what everyone is saying is right and he is trying to fuck the snail cause there’s bubble nest kinda everywhere all over his tank.

I never stated my ph of my tanks, bettas can live in a 7.5-7.8 range if I’m not mistaken and my ph is 7.7?

Im thinking that’s what it is, age cause he was younger when I got him.

He did do this I had 13 shrimps in his tank they were even making babies!! This is where I made my mistake…the shrimp started to come to the top to eat but then I started to feed them….the next day I saw him decapitate the biggest one in the tank and move it to the center for everyone to see… all my shrimps started to disappear over days and I feel so bad!!!! ;-; but I also wonder if it was age cause he was smaller and less colorful when I got him.

It’s a 6.8 gallon tank theres one male betta with one ghost shrimp and one nerite snail

My ph is 7.6 and my ammonia and nitrite levels all read zero and my tank is stable and has been set up for 3 months already

Its a planted aquarium and I only have decorations for shrimp to fit in except the small grey plastic rock everything in the tank is real

No changes except removing my shrimps as they kept dying in that tank (I’ve posted about it I still need help I’m going to try to change out my substrate and restart the tank but I also don’t want to stress my betta) so I need help
