Never seen a piebald betta before but now I own one!
He was pure white with a few blue streaks in his caudal fin,
and he marbled up completely to his head!
I've also never seen ventrals so long on a betta.
So handsome! My PKEE has long ventrals like that which looks really weird because they're about double the length of his bottom fin (completely blanked on the right term)
Actually, sorry to burst your bubble but he's not a Piebald but in fact a Monster which is a Betta with a white head. See how his head scales are white and you can see a bit of flesh color underneath? A Piebald needs to have his head be entirely flesh colored, not white. So in correct terms he is a Monster DeT ;-) he's quite beautiful though!
You didn't burst a bubble at all! I like the word monster more than piebald!
Also, where his head is a flesh coloured, theres a yellow colour in there too. Do you know what that is?
Here's Natsu
You can't really see his ventrals in the first picture, but if look hard enough in the second you can see them from their blue tips. The third picture is just obvious xD

Oh the white tips on the ventral fins is just because the fish is young. As they grow up over a whole year and sometimes longer, those white tips will color up to, in Natsu's case orange, whatever the color of the fish ventral's are. All Betta's have it.
Ah! That explains it That's good to know!
So then my friends have a dark blue/black male with completely white ventrals... Will his turn dark as he ages then as well?
Ah, right, thanks! I mostly loved his color when I saw him on AB a few months back. :-D
