It actually depends on which part of the lake they come from to an extent. As a generalized rule, though, trewavasae are leaner and more elongated. Where both species occur, trewavasae tend to be smaller. Trewavasae also inhabit rocks deeper than fuelleborni in the lake. Fuelleborni are less likely to exhibit the "red top" morph, blue with a red dorsal, than trewavasae, and fuelleborni rarely exhibit this morph where populations of the two overlap. The one instance where both species overlap and show the red top morph (I don't recall the location off the top of my head), hybridization is suspected, according to Ad Konings.
