First one looks like Moneywort. Second one looks like Echinodorus 'Rubin'(Narrow Leaves). Here's some links:

I know the first one isnt moneywort cuz i have some of that in the tank also...the leaves are more pointy thatn the moneywort and arent as slick and shiny looking......the seccond one looks just like the one uou listed except it has stems that come out of the ground that the leaves come off of...the one in the picture looks like all the leaves start right at the roots.....
thanks for your help though:D

That doesn't matter. It may or may not grow roots like that, but it most likely will, at one time or another. It looks like Bacopa caroliniana to me as well.
As for the Alternanthera - it likes lots of light, CO2 and ferts. It's not an easy plant, but very pretty.
