Thanks, that's kinda what I was thinking when I couldn't find any info on it. I told her I had never heard of goldfish pepper.

It was a plant swap so I didn't have to pay for it. I did bring home one plant and will be very interested to see what the pepper looks like.

Post a photo now and then update it as the season progresses. It will be fun to try to guess exactly what you have. It is likely we can at least determine which of the five species it belongs to: Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum pubescens.

My guess is it's a bishops crown. Did she have any pictures of it?

Yah, those peppers get renamed all the time....of course it could be a regular "FISH PEPPER".

Came across this, make sure it's a pepper plant and not this one

Haha, yah, that is why it would be good for the OP to put up a photo or two.

That would be okay with me. But no, it looks like just a regular pepper plant.

That's a pepper, it looks like it could use a repot. Keep us updated on its progress.
