Piebald Betta Rarity

How rare is it to find a Piebald betta in a pet store? I saw 1 gorgeous male betta in Petco and was shocked how amazing it's pattern was. I called it the Calico betta because it reminded me of a Calico cat coloring.

Not really that rare, they are basically a marble betta that has less of the colour on the head, quite easy to gain in a marble spawn, some people just use the name to get it sold for a higher price but a true piebald will have a definate mask of flesh coloured scales, the body colour can be any colour but the head must be flesh coloured.
