3. vallisneria "twister"

5. can you get a close up?

8. ceraoteris thallitrichoides (indian fern)

9. looks like hygrophillia, or staurogyne sp.

10. ludwigia repens? need a close up.

11. tiger lotus "green"

12. bacopa monneiri
 
we need bigger pictures please :)

11 looks like a type of water lily or lotus, a nymphaea sp. of sorts.
 
Will get some better and bigger pictures once sun stop's shining right in the window!

and with the Vallisneria Spiralis "Tiger" i always thought it was a giant Vallis but on a site i was reading it was called Vallisneria Spiralis "Tiger".Theres no redness to the leaves it's just bloody huge.Some leaves do touch the surface but some of them look like they've been crimped if thats the right word can get close up pic's later on
 
ok better images now plus another id needed lol .Bought this earlier woman in the LFS said something about ivy but after searching for aquarium ivy all it's brought back is a red plant nothing like mine
