What size tank do I need for these? I have 1 10 gallon, 2 20 gallons (one cycling), and a 75 gallon cycling. I would like to have a plant in my 10, but I know Nymphaea needs a big tank. Is 20 gallon or 75 gallon big enough? And what about the Aponogeton? What tank is suitable for it?
 
For Nymphaea--the bigger the better. Put it in the 75gal.

For the Aponogeton-You did not say what kind, but for most a 20gal should be OK.

For the 10gal try some cryps and dwarf swords or dwarf sag.
 
The Aponogeton says "Hybrid Aponogeton Bulbs." And thanks for the help. I really like the dwarf swords and the dwarf sag.

"Hybrid" just means it is not a pure-breed. It is a mix of one or more kinds/species of Aponogetons. It could be any combo. Which means it could be any size.
