Way too small to get a good positive ID on them BUT the first looks similar to a tiny Dove Snail maybe and the last could be a Collonista. More close up pictures would be necessary to really tell for certain though.

I'd say there's definitely a good chance picture 1 is a Dove Snail and picture 2 is a Collonista.

There's differing opinions. Collonista snails can populate quickly.

Dove snails, some say they're safe, some say they're not.
