The second one is anubias. The first looks like anacharis, but I might have that one wrong.
 
What kind of anubias exactly? In general I know the last 2 are anubias...

I was told the first was anacharis, but I want to know for sure
 
I was told the first was anacharis but I thought the leaves were more spread out and flat than in the pictures I saw of anacharis.

Thanks for the help!

The last 2 pics are 2 different plants btw...

First one looks like hydrilla.
 
What exactly is hydrilla? I've never heard of it...

2nd one may be barteri but the first one the leaf structure is wrong. barteri doesnt have wavy pointed leaves.

What you have is definitely hydrilla, probably hydrilla verticillata. If you look at the chart I posted you will see that the leaf whorls are in groups of five, which is what you have. Anacharis is from the egeria family and has more leaves per whorl and the leaf margins are smooth. Hydrilla is an extremely invasive non native and is choking out local waterways all across the USA. I believe it is also on the federal ban list.
 
Federal ban list?!?! I think you might be right, my plant looks exactly like the one you are describing. It was sold to me as an anacharis...
