I was thinking they literally beat each other to death or just continuously nipped at each other. Although I had no idea they had sharp teeth.

that's what I was thinking XD I was like "obviously betta" then I saw the teeth part. They don't have very big teeth if any.
bettas have a set of sharp teeth, because they hunt other animals for food, as well as for fighting(how do you think they kill each other?).
I've been bitten by a betta though, no teeth. They have raspish things like most fish that don't have teeth. Kind of like very very abrasive sandpaper.

they are not huge teeth, but another betta can see them just like we can see each others teeth.
this is what a bettas teeth look like up close.

They're such cute fish! Of course, I have
many possible tanks and I could separate
them if need be.
Some other aquatic creatures I've been
considering are african dwarf frogs and
snails (possibly mystery). But I've always
loved bettas.
African Dwarf Frogs and snails both do well with bettas (or so I've heard about the frogs, but I've only ever kept a snail in there). :> I've heard of cories doing pretty okay, as well, but I guess put them together and see what happens? It does depend on your fish's temperament. I'm glad you have more tanks if necessary! ♥
