Aji seeds direct from Peru. Translate?

My first real post!

OK, I got a few varieties of seeds from a Mercado in Peru. I'm trying to sprout some of them. I know what most of them are, but a couple are still questionable. Sorry, no pics, but I can describe well enough. The bags are labeled:

1. Aji Piris. Looks a lot like Aji Pinguita de Mono, same size, but the pepper is yellow. I cannot find a historical link for Piri piri as a name in Peru, but maybe....

2. Ojo de pez. Looks a lot like Charapita, color is red, size is same as charapita. Hot! I'm guessing Charapita.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Just in case you weren't already going to do so, I would highly recommend that you just refer to them as the Peruvian label refers to them, no name changing or translating. There are many varieties around the world that look/taste the same, and they may/may not be the same, but always stick with the name the locals call it from where you got it.

Yea, I had planned on sticking with the local name. But, I thought that it would be good to know growth/habit/space/heat/requirements - wise I'd be getting into before I started to try to grow them out.
