The fruit of the fish pepper plant is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. It starts off green and ripens to a vibrant red color. These peppers are known for their unique variegated appearance, with the fruit displaying both green and white stripes. This adds visual interest to the plant and makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardens.
