Name These Plants!

I ordered some plans online...but it was for an assortment of 5 species from...about 50.
So well I haven't a clue what I actually recieved, and to be honest I think one of them may actually not be fully aquatic.
The plants range from around 15cm - 25cm

Plant 1 - Looks like it will have properly red leaves if properly fertilised and with enough light

Plant 2 - Not sure if this is actually aquatic

Plant 3 - Grass with brownish/reddish tips

Plant 4 - Best picture I could get, it looks very bushy when in water. Quite thick waxy leaves.

Plant 5 - it's very different to plant 4 when in water. It has more of a tall tendril feeling than a bushy feeling. I'm guessing it is going to be tall.

Well there you go. The reason I ask is because I'm not sure where to plant them as I don't know how tall each one will grown I'm confused.

2) I'm pretty sure isn't aquatic. 4) is a Cabomba, I believe.

Just googled camboba and I think I agree

And as for plant 2...oh well lol.

For all 5 I don't think I paid more than £8 and they came in little ceramic rings for easier planting so I'm not about to complain!

Take them out of the pots.. separate out the plantlets & plant individually (easiest using tweezers IMO).

Oh, & watch out for snails - as soon as you see one, get it OUT of your tank.

#3 looks like it may be emersed hairgrass. (grown out of water) Thats the only way it gets buds like that. You can put it in water, but it will probably experience a large die back as it switches over the submersed growth.
