from the second picture it looks like a snail from the species Campeloma but they usualy stay in the detritus on the bottom of the tank. Give me some more info like size, could you take a picture from the bottom and top angle? I could probably tell you then.
It looks very similar to the Japanese trapdoor snail. I'm not positive, though. If you can get a pic of its underside while it's clinging to the glass, that might help with ID.
The first three are babys, I have 4 or 5 babys in the tank. The adults are about 2 inches big. Sorry for bad pictures, i'll try and get better once later when the snails move to another place in the tank, Right now the adults are on the bottom, they enjoy all parts of the tank though..
Did the parent give live birth, were the young born from eggs, or did you buy the babies? If they were live born, Trapdoor is a very strong possibility. They're livebearers.

i don't know. I didn't buy the babys, but i never saw them give birth before and i've never seen eggs in the tank.
I'd guess that, if all you're seeing are a few of the babies, they were live-born. Eggs usually (not always, though) produce larger numbers of snails in a short time.
