Hi,
the red plant should be Rotala Macrandra (forgot the exact spelling).

Cheers!

Does the second plant have little tubers/roots in the shape of miniature bananas at the base of it? If it does, it could be the so-called "banana plant" (nymphoides aquatica). The leaves certainly look like what a banana plant would usually send up to the surface.

If it is a Banana plant, the tubers (banana shaped parts) should not be buried in the soil completely - they may rot - I think.

I think the 1st 2 ID should be correct:

1. Rotala Macranda
2. Nymphoides sp. (no tubers)

Thanks everyone!
