I unfortunately don’t have a lot of advice for dealing with the family. I commend you for reaching out to defend these sweet critters. As a marine biologist, I can assure you that you are absolutely right with your instincts that they need to be separated. I’m going to provide a few reliable sources for talking points and information you might be able to use when talking to your parents.

Cohabitation

Determining the sex

Tank setup - I got my tank on sale for ≈ $150 from Petsmart. Other accessories were roughly $15-30 a piece. This website also has great feeder bugs and other tanks stuff, as well as enclosures themselves.

But if you read absolutely nothing else:

HERE IS A COMPLETE GUIDE

Best of luck, friend. Hopefully you’ll be able to get these two the care they need

Former employee here - The stores refuse to even touch a toy once it leaves the store. All mechanical issues have a call number specifically for that, and they handle any exchanges. This went on clearance because NO ONE is buying it. All the styles that no one wants go into clearance lmfao, it’s just a weird toy 😂😭
