As i see their nails, i think Momo's a female, and Jojo's a male, Correct me if i'm wrong ^^

Very nice looking group!
Looks like Jojo went though some fast growth, and that would be my guess why she's got a pinkish tinge to her shell. Though to be sure, is there anything rough in their tank (like a rough rock?).
Looks like they're still too small to tell gender (still under 3"). Right now, both Momo and Jojo's nails look like a female's, but that can change quite quickly once they reach 4".

I don't think you should be alarmed by the slight pink on their shells - because it's symmetrical on both turtles, it could just be their individual coloring. My vet has told me that several times, and I've seen it on other turtles. My previous turtle had a slight pink tinge like that and it was always present. My vet just told me that she was "blonder" than other turtles.
The red you should be alarmed at seeing is when it's in the lines in between the scutes.
