Hi!
I still havent figured out how to differentiate the types of Panaqolus...
I have these 2 at home...

The first one having clear seperated lines...and seeming to be a female.

I have the one in your second picture, it's indeed a P. maccus...plump, short body with no filaments on the fins (unlike the link to the picture in the post above me, doesn't look like a maccus to me).
