There's no difference in the fingerings as you read the notes off the music, however the actual tones that you produce on the two horns will be a fifth apart for any given fingering.

Some of the very highest notes (altissimo) will require different fingerings, but these are the sort of notes you will only be playing after a year or two of practice, so don't worry! The normal notes are the same, as Torus has said.

when you say fifth, is it 5 natural notes higher like in voice, or is it 5 pitches higher?

Fifth as in the interval. I would've called five pitches higher a fourth.
