I am pretty sure the 2nd one is Wisteria, but I am at a loss for the first one. I have been on Trpica.com, but having a hard locating the first one. Thanks!

The first looks like some kind of sword probably an Amazon Sword
 
They have both been in the tank for about a month now, and neiter are looking so hot.

The Wisteria has new growth, but the the rest looks sad :( The Amazon Sword has never really looked great.

I have basic lighting and was assured at Petsmart they were both "low light" - thinking of adding ferts, but haven't ever used them before.

Note: There is salt in the water right now from an ich treatment, and I had the temp up to 86 for a week. Should I wait until I have all the salt removed and maybe they will look better?
 
The first one is Echinodorus Bleheri.

The second is a Hygrophila Difformis.

Yup, the salt is not really good for the plants. How long have you been in the ich treatment?
