Thank you for any help you can provide. Would like to read up on the plants for care and tips... where i got them from they werent labelled.
 
thanks fifefish...but #5 you say amazone sword.....it doesnt look like my other amazon sword that ive got... this one kinda red, aleast the new growth its sprouting up is red then it turns green with red veins...
 
1) Rotala wallichi or Rotala sp nanjenshan
2) cryptocoryne sp
3) not sure, does it have white on the leaves?
4) cyperus helferi
5) echindorous rubra
 
1) Rotala wallichi or Rotala sp nanjenshan^^^^^^^

Isn't Rotala Wallichi bushier and reddish?
 
The first one looks more like star grass and the last sword looks like my klinear bar sword.

But I have had some that looked like that when it wasn't getting enough nutrients or light. That is why I said stargrass. It could also be Didiplis Diandra. There is also a sword that is being sold as aquatic called marble queen. I'm with you not aquatic but I could be wrong. It also could be Echinodorus cordifolius 'Marble Queen' (Aquatic)

I agree. Looks like Echinodorus cordifolius. This
 
thanks guys

number 3 definitly is a 'marbeled queen' sword ...... looks like its doing alright for now. its got new growth thats opening up into nice healthy looking leaves. hope it keeps it up.

ive also found out number 5 is a 'ruby melon sword' the little new growth leaves are a deep red then turn green with red veins... very nice
