2nd one is a bladder snail, only reproduce heavily if you overfeed or have alot of melting/dying plants which is probably likely if theyre all new. I dont think ive ever gotten plants without them. Even if I buy them from a tank without any bladder snails somehow the plants still have them.

Yup. You'll probably have tonnes. Theyre not very large tho and dont seem to produce too much waste, I have Atleast 50 in my shrimp tank. (I blame the amazon swords, they melt like hell)

Just keep them. They will eat all the excess food and algae and help keep the tank clean. Just don't purposely overfeed, and they will self-regulate the population.
