The last one I know is a small amazon sword, came from the mother plant in my 90G.

The tank is still cycling as you see...

I have also gotten mixed info on wether or not to take them out of the pots that they came in. As of right now my only substrate is gravel. I will be putting some Seachem Flourish tabs in the tank today.
 
They look like crypts. Crypts often die back at first. But yes, take them out of the pots! The pots look horrible and the root tabs won't be able to do much if the roots can't get to them.
 
I had crypts in my 5g that melted completely, but a year later, they are the largest plants in my tank.
 
A closeup looks of some leaves of the swords on the right side is similar to my swords. What's wrong with this?
