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?

I think the second one might be a Mammillaria priessnitzii.

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

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