I have had these Terrapins for a while and im preety sure that they are Red Earred Sliders but do not have the 'Red Ears' i think i may of heard somewhere that adults can loose this characteristic however they are far from adults, I cannot find any other sub-species which they may belong to. Could someone please try and identify them for me, if you need more pictures just ask

Post plastron and side shots of the head showing their stripes. I believe one is a peninsula cooter(top pic, left) the other is a yellow belly slider. they are pyramiding, not good - cut the protein down from their diet, feed 3x a week to prevent more deformation of the shell. the water doesn't look deep, i hope im wrong. they need deep water to swim.
 
Ok thanks very much for that i will now reduce feeding, that pyramiding must be due to my brother and his friends feeding regeme as he is in the Army and many of them looked after them but now due to being restationed he has given them to me so hey can be properly looked after. anyway here are the pictures you asked for and ive also included a picture of the tank but please not i will be getting a much bigger one in july when my brother gets leave.
