Markings are nothing alike on females
-panduro: sort of a smudge for a spot right behind the gills
-baenschi: sort of a tiger strip pattern with multiple bars on the body
Males
-panduro: smooth dorsal with
-baenschi: multiple extended rays on the dorsal fin (see the picture in the header of this forum)
The spot versus bars also works on the males but isn't as always easily seen because the male's color will mask the black marks.
There are lot's of other things to look at but start with those.
