hey, i was just wondering if any of these fish are fin nippers?
-Platties
-Guppies
-Glass Fish

And also, if any of them are, if I remove them, do you think i could put a male betta in with them?

Probably not a good idea to mix male betta with male guppies. From what I understand, the long flowing tail of male guppies can get male bettas all riled up.

Yeah, I wouldn't call any of these fish fin nippers. At the same time I've heard of a male betta going after several other species before that had some characteristic that looked similar.

my male and my female betta became tag-team mobsters, knocking out my 3 of my guppies (male and female) during the middle of the night. They would also chase around the mollies/platies. I think any fish their size is their enemy. They never bothered my tetras,danio's or rasboras. KYle
