Something nice in the plant order!

I'd agree that the second looks like ludwigia of some kind though I couldn't tell you which specifically. The third plant looks to me like Bacopa Caroliniana, similar to moneywort.

All three of them are stem plants with the first two being cuttings - meaning the roots didn't rot off in transit, they haven't formed yet. Plant them and in time they'll develop roots. When they get too tall you can just cut them down and plant the tops and again, in time they'll develop roots. Also, if you want shorter, bushier growth, trim them back more often and where you've cut them they'll often tend to branch out. Great extras, good luck with them!!
 
1. Bacopa monnieri, aka moneywort
2. Ludwigia, either repens or palustris. I think it's palustris because the leaves look narrower and more spear-shaped than repens.
3. Bacopa caroliniana

Plants 2 and 3 will color up under more light, though they're hardy enough to grow under medium lighting.
 
Thanks all, been great getting some info. Will they last 4 days with 30-40 watts on them?
 
The plants look healthy enough to stay alive for a week in poor lighting.

This for the 75g or the 10g in your sig? 30-40w over a 10g should be able to grow them.
 
75g, the 2 10s haven't yet been planted, I want to stabilise what I'm trying to do to the 75g first :lipssealedsmilie:
 
I hope that's going to be possible with 2 20g hoods...
