The seller insists saying that the fish with the damaged tail fin is a female. The tail fin did not heal at all in more than a month of time, so I can not wait and show obvious the tail shape unfortunately.
First 6 photos were taken at arrival on 18th of August, before opening the bag. Last three photos are taken today, in the first of which the fish is reacting to a mirror:

Hard to say for sure. The bottom fish looks like a male, of course, but the other? Female A. mendezi show little to no caudal pattern, so the other probably is a male, too.
