Bit hard to tell from the pic but the first one I think is a form of haworthia cooperi.

The second is a Tephrocactus species. Watch out for glochids on it!

Maybe Tephrocactus molinensis? And no kidding about watching out for the glochids; they make Pereskiopsis look like a soft fuzzy pillow.

Haworthia cymbiformis, Tephrocactus articulatus and Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. i'd like to see the Haworthia again once it's bigger.

Tipz you are right does look a lot like anisitsii , but from what i can see,the anisitsii grow horizontal ribs, where as i have noticed the mihanovicii seem to have vertical ribs, which this one looks moer to be doing, so id go with mihanovicii over anisitsii....i noticed both species have multiple variants too, so not an easy one to ident.
