Taken today, not the greatest pics but everything's fairly clean. None of these pics really show the height of the tank (22"). Honestly, the plants are not tall enough yet. This is a low light tank that does not receive any liquid fertilizer. I have gravel ferts around the crypts and just added them to the sags recently.

Looks like cabomba to me. :shrug: I'll take a stab at it:

Background-cabomba
Middleground-java moss
Foreground-pygmy chain sword and dwarf sag

and maybe some pennywort off to the right.

Not at all; that's Limnophila sessiliflora, very different from Cabomba, especially if you see it in person. Much softer and "fluffier," not nearly as stiff and fragile.
I'm not sure what pennywort is (maybe H. leucocephala?), but that's Hydrocotyle verticillata. I've been thinking of getting some, as I've seen them at local stores lately.
 
Starry is right about two of the plants. The tank is a 25 extra tall (24"x12"x22") with a 40 watt shoplight.

Background - limnophila sessiflora
Middle ground - java moss and java fern on driftwood
Foreground - Hydrocotyle verticillata (claimed to be a "high" light plant), dwarf sag (sagittaria subulata), and crypt lucens on the left
 
:) Glad I never claimed to be any good at this. I dunno why I didn't recognize the Ambulia, I have about 20 strands of that growing at home. Great plant.
