    From left picture to right:

    The first one grew successfully in my tank but I didn't like how it looked so I discarded it.

    The second one is currently growing well. The red stems have turned regular green though. Bummer because I kinda liked the red stem look.

    The third one, I didn't buy. Just curious of it's name.

    Thank you!

    1st would be Blyxa japonica,
    2nd my guess will be Ammannia pedicellata,
    3rd picture cannot see properly except purple leaves on the underside, so I can't ID the plant
    4th I am not sure

    Hi Vipered. Thanks a lot for the reply!

    1st: I can safely say that it isn't Blyxxa Japonica. I have those.
    2nd: Hmm I'm googlin' the name you gave..

    Ok then the first must probably be Pogostemon Octopus, I have bought it before and it grows really long leaves!
    Anyway do try this website for ID-ing aquatic plants, very useful.

    Hi,
    The 3'rd plant is likely not a Limnophila hippuroides but Pogostemon stellatus, the difference is in the pink/purple at the nodes (where the leaf connects the stem). Also pogostemon stellatus has slightly narrower leaves (though this trait is not as dependable due to the variability of limnophila). In the aquarium, pogostemon stellatus would be harder to grow than limnophila hippuroides
