Based on the patterns and shape I would say you have two females.

These are some old pics of my ~ 40 cm pair for comparison (sorry for the dark pictures):

Thank you very much. Still the question, found a male, whether it will be able days in the 10th liter bucket without supply of oxygen to reach. Or the compressor is necessary

How long is it going to be in the 10 lts bucket? Is it only for the travel or something else?

Рыба пойдет 24 часа. Они дышат атмосферным воздухом.

Sorry. Fish will go 24 hours. They breathe atmospheric air.

Ok.
When they are shipped they spend far more than 24hrs is a tighter space (small bag).
I don´t think you´ll have a problem with that.
It is advisable that you don´t feed the fish for at least 3 days before the travel so he doesn´t mess the water quality
