Thanks for the quick response. One is 6 inches and the other is 10 inches. Shell size that is.
They're quite big.

I have 2 small fimbriatus and one big orinocensis.

My big orinocensis although was grown in a tank right up until it was 5", it doesn't like any light at all, always in its cave and only comes out after dark
