Jose:

I can't say why the Fish pepper plants changed, but can comment (I
think) on the variegation.

I believe the variegation is a virus - introduced either by nature or by
breeding.  I know tulip breeders in Holland introduce viruses to get
variegation in their tulips.

My Fish are doing great - we got them from Janie Lamson of Cross Country
Nurseries (www.chileplants.com).  Thanks, Janie!

I've also grown Fish peppers from J.L. Hudson - they look similar (the
peppers are almost the same shape), but the variegation is not as
intense as the Chile Plants plants.

Nonetheless - they're all hot as the dickens!  And they make a great
peri-peri sauce.
