Ones on the right seem to be Anacharis, but don't know about the left one...

The left one looks like a Dracaena of some sort. Not aquatic.

Left one for sure is not aquatisc, it will rot in a few weeks. As for suggested plants, we really need to know how many watts of light is produced from your hood divided by your tank size. This gives you a watt per gallon. (WPG) The minimum wpg is about .75-1 wpg for low light plants like Anubias, Java moss, Java ferns, Crypts, Hornwort, and Anacharis. 1.5-2 wpg is good for Brazilian Pennywort, Moneywort, Ludwigia, Dwarf Sag, Frogbit, and Vals.

the left one will rot, but if you left some of it out of the water it will grow in the tank. I planted mine in soil and its growing very tall. I also had some growing outside in half water, and did very well
