I'll guess first
Amazon sword
ludwegia repans "red" or similar
hemianthus micranthemoides, HM or babies tears (not dwarf HC)
rotala sp. maybe green? indica? rotundifolia? The white vein helps but there's a lot of confusion
I have grown all in medium light (2 x T-5 bulbs) & no co2. The sword would like a root tab near it. I'm a terrible fertilizer for dry or liquid, but root tabs I do.
Many plants are grown emersed (leaves out of water, roots in) & leaves may change as they adapt to your tank. It helps to plant only 2 or 3 stems in a bunch & be gentle, gravel can crush the stems or roots. I make a trough with my finger, hold the plant in there & backfill. Your sword may be planted a bit too deep, you want the "crown" (where roots & leaves connect) just a tiny bit above the substrate.
