    Can anyone help to identify some plants I recently added to my tank?

    The green round leaved plant in the back and the green needle leaved plant on the right as well.

    Some more plants to ID. The green leaved plant at the back. The undersides of this plant are purplish in colour. The brownish green needle leaved plant on the right and the bright green grass like plant at the lower left corner. Thanks in advance!

    I think the red leaved plant in the 2nd post could be red-leaved Ludwigia Repens and the brownish-green needle-like leaved plant is Myriophyllum Heterophyllum. Anyone able to confirm?

    First pic:

    Round leaf - probably Hydrocotyle verticillata. Green needle leaf - probably a Myriophyllum, which species I am not sure.

    Second pic:

    Brownish green leaf - Myriophyllum mattogrosssense? Can be a Rotala too I think. Rest, I'm not sure.

    Thanks to both mods for the help in ID. Seems like I've ignorantly selected a cocktail of rather difficult plants to keep. Keeping my fingers crossed that my ferts and lighting are sufficient to sustain them.
