Thanks ! hopefully this will become a good reference for other newbies as well :)
 
I can't be 100% on the ID but :
Plant 1) looks like someone pull a hand full of grass from their lawns and stick it in the tank ... might pass for a Echinodurus tenellus though.
Plant 2) looks like mondo grass, not a real underwater plant. It just refuse to die underwater. But eventually, all things comes to an end.
Plant 3, 4 & 6) I can't remember their names but know what they are ...
Plant 5) normal amazon sword, needs medium light to grow healthy, but once it gets healthy, it'll try to take over your entire tank.
Plant 7) some kind of anubias, low - medium light.
Plant 8) java fern, low - medium light
Plant 9) spiral val. - medium light
Plant 10) guppy grass, low - medium light and mostly grow as a floater.
Oh BTW, I don't know why they call your substrate holland sand, but where I live, we call it aquarium substrate ...
