Those are definitely painted turtles. They are similar to sliders, cooters, etc. As for the one being smaller, it is fine there is always variation between animals, even in the same species. As long as the little one is active, eats, and has a hard shell he will probably be fine.

Yeah this is your second vote on "Painted turtle". You can pretty much bank on that. I've had em for years. My big Momma is 13 inches long the shell alone! Definately the biggest one I've seen. They should get to that size in 4-6 years. Take care of those little teenage mutants!

As to if you should be concern with the littlest one, I would say to watch him, but not be really concerned. Sounds like he is active and eating. Is his shell firm/hard? Turtles are just like any other animal, some grow slow and then do mega growth spurts, some never grow as big as normal, ect.., Everybody is just a little different and has to live up to their own potentials.
Just be sure to be giving them a varied and balanced diet, as much sunshine as safely possible, inside UV/basking sites, and a roomy enough tank with clean water in it.
