When I first got the one he has claws with the red and white, the second one shead her skin the first couple days she was
in the tank, the reason why I think it is a male and female because one has big red and white claws and the smaller one has small white claw

All of the commonly kept aquarium shrimp are hermaphrodites, and posses the ability to change gender. I don't believe the coloration nor claw size indicates gender. However, females are generally the larger of the two.

It's hard enough to tell if you know what you're looking for in person let alone the pictures. Unless they are in a big tank or bonded you may very well end up with one.

How do they bond? and also they are in a 75 gallon and they seem not to care about each other...
