betta fish tail biting

All this fish ever does is attack his own tail. He is extremely overly-aggressive and destroys his tail fin whenever it gets long enough for him to reach it. I vary his diet with bloodworms, live mosquito larvae and betta pellets. He eats like a pig, and then goes back to spinning in circles trying to reach his tail again! SOOOOOOO frustrating... maybe I'll just get a new fish :(

FEED IT!
As some people before me have already mentioned, he could be stressed out. Not necessarily because he is bored, but because his tank is too scarcely planted. Bettas like dark, heavily planted tanks which resemble their natural habitat.
Tank size might have been a tad bit too small for him too.

Also what size was your tank and did you have a heater?
