Mystery Babies Or Tiny Bladder Snails?

A clutch of mystery snail babies has begun hatching! Mom is a wild, or black, mystery snail. She started laying clutches about a month after I got her, and I remove them usually. I left this one clutch on the glass and lo and behold there's babies! Problem is, I have been removing pest snails as I see them, and now I can' t tell what I have in my tank! How can I discern between cuties & evil ones? Also, will my danios hurt them? Thanks for any help!

Sorry, had to wait for help from a better camera for photos! Yesterday I put tiny snails in cup until I could identify them... The others I left alone once I was sure the clutch was hatching...

First 3 unidentified... Other photos are definitely mystery babies.

And they grow so fast! So cute too

Last night I plucked out no less than 5 bladder snail egg sacs from my tank This is stressing me out. I love the babies, though!

The babies are about .5cm now, and I can finally tell them apart from the pests. I just put all babies I could find in a glass bowl with a chunk of sn'ello and did a deep gravel vacuum and pest plucking. Whew, I feel so much better now.
