Thanks Mervin for your advice.
It is definitely an A. Mendezi (or else i will sue the vendor!! hehehe).
For more pics, please take a look at:

The fish i am asking is the one in the bottom (the one with a pale caudal fin). This fish does look like a female in these two pictures. However, sometimes it is "so colorful" and the caudal fin is so sharp that makes me doubt about whether it is a male... ^.^

They are young fish, but it is probably a female (unpatterned caudal fin), but if it develops a double tipped caudal, well ...
Thanks Mike, and hope it will stay to be a beautiful female fish
^.^
