RE: Beautiful True Peruvian Rainbow!

I had several Peruvian rainbows over the past decade. They were absolutely from Peru too as they were caught by friends.
I had EXACT locality data too like "This one I caught in my banana clump when I was living on Swiss Mission Road in Pucallpa" or "We caught this one in in our hen house in Cashibo Cocha" or "This one we found in Orellana". They were brought into the states by my friends who declared them at customs. In only one instance were they ever taken away--that was one time when they had brought four with them. The customs officer in Miami then notified Fish and Wildlife who took them and said something to the effect "Bringing one is one thing, bringing in four is suspicious and stinks of commercialism".
Anyway, NONE of these rainbows looked ANY different in ANY way from the scores of Brazilians that I have seen over the years.
That's about all I can add to the 'mysterious' gaigei.
