Thete are so many of these little guys there about 1/16" and white there's tons I just noticed in my tank

What are the chances there breed from my astrea or Margarita?

They're most likely Colonista sp. snails, they're generally considered good, but if you have a needle wheel skimmer you might have to pick them out from between the "needles" from time to time.
