Re: 3 cacti
Pretty hard to tell at that age. 2 Mammillarias and a Parodia is all I can say with confidence. I could take a guess at the species - 1. M. backebergiana? 2. M. sempervivi? 3. P. scopa?

Re: 3 cacti
Hi,the last one looks like a very young magnificus or leninghausii.Is it very small ?

I think the second one might be a Mammillaria priessnitzii.

Re: 3 cacti
thanks all for replying
yes they are small, not more than one inch
the leninghouse/magnificus should be yellow instead of white? or they can have white spination?
thanks again

No my seedlings that are about 1 inch at the moment look exactly like that.Time will tell though,be much easier to tell when they grow some.

Re: 3 cacti
Try to remember to provide size info when seeking an ID - though in this case, it's pretty obvious those are very young plants.
