Is this a see-through guppy?

One of my baby guppies has looked different from the others since birth. He/she appears to be see-through. I'll attach some photos where you can see red that seems to be under the skin. This wasn't fancy guppy coloring that developed later - it was there from the beginning. On Google I found a few photos of "see-through" (or possibly "glass belly"?) guppies that looked similar. Mom came from the pet store pregnant, so I'm not sure who the dad was. I don't own any see-through guppies. What do you all think? And, is this a rare type of guppy? I was just going to give the grown babies to a pet store for store credit, but maybe I'll keep him/her if this fish is special.
(Sorry for the blurry shots...I need to get a macro lens...)
Thanks in advance!

Your guppy seems to be see-through, I am not sure if that makes it special or anything but I'd suggest that if you love him/her then you must keep it. It's special to you anyway.

That is gorgeous and soooo cool! I recommend you breed her! Clear guppies go for a lot!

Yes, picture#1 shows a seethru and in pic#2 the bottom one is a seethru. But only their bellies are seethru. So, these are glass belly guppies. A real seethru guppy must have their whole body translucent.
And yes, glass belly guppies are more expensive than a regular commercial guppy.

Thank you. I didn't know the difference between glass belly and see-through. Both pics are of the same fish. I have a several batches of baby guppies, but she's the only one who is unique in this way, so we're going to keep her.

I am sure it is a glassbelly guppy. Looks just like my gold glassbelly ladies. You could mate her to her brother as he might be split for glassbelly. The golds are the nicest glassbellies.
