Hello Mervin, they look similar but they are different! ^.^
If we take a look at the male fish of the Oregon,
it has a distinct penducle spot, and there are five dark markings
in the area just beneath the dorsal fin.
The coloration and markings also show differences
when we compare the female fish of nijsseni and Oregon...

Yes, I agree similar but different.

Female looks like a combination of nijsseni & Baenschi

The fish actually is very closely related to A. sp. Zwilling/Twin & comes from the same general area.

Thanks KenL, yes, i also agree that it is a species closely related to
both the panda and inka ^.^
