I think Jeff is correct when he says that most, if not all of the "Peruvian' rainbows in this country are in fact "Brazilians"---or more should I say E. c. cenchria? We have a tendency to give common names that are all too often misleading. In this case the range of what we call "Brazilian" rainbows does include a number of countries. When an animal comes out of, say Peru, that does not mean that it has to be what is known as the "Peruvian' rainbow, E. c. gaigei.
But WAY too many dealers are in a hurry to lable them as such.
Also, the rainbows that I had that I know where from Peru I never sold, (or gave away usually) as gaigei but only as locality known E.c. cenchria.
