What are these plants?

well, here's my $.02.
1 - I don't know... I agree, it doesn't look aquatic.
2 - I wonder if it is a nymphaea sp - I would leave it for a while to see what it does. This is kind of a bad pic of it, but it does show similar heart shaped leaves to yours, and the same rosette type shape with longer stems. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/...tails.php?id=109&category=genus&spec=Nymphaea
3 - I think is a form of Japanese Rush. This website says it is not aquatic, but I have had one in my tank for 4+ years and it has not died yet. Then again it certainly hasn't grown well either. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/plants/StemPlants/JapaneseRush.php

#1 is not an aquatic plant. Petco sells these to people all the time. It will die under water and foul your tank. Plant it in a planter and put it on your window sill.

#2 is hard to tell. Definitely not an anubias sp., the leaves are too soft looking. It does look aquatic though.

#3 also doesn't look aquatic. I'd bet money it's "mondo grass" and would be great as a sidewalk border outside.

agreed 100%
 
Very helpful and informative post there Starry.

Pretty much I only see creeping jenny aka moneywort and or bacopa at petsmart. So I figure it is most likely one or the other. Tell us all what it is.
 
I think the second one is Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia Google image search it tho cus the pic was a lil hard to make out. I got 2 at my lfs the gentleman who sugested the for me said he gets tem from a man who propegates them, said they were rare

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound mean or anything, I just got to the point. Sorry if it came across wrong. Lysimachia nummularia is a stem plant, with smallish round leaves.
 
Well, let me give this a try.

1. Hygrohila salicifolia or augustifolia

2. Syngonium podophyllum

3. Ophipogon japonica (Mondo Grass)

Only the Hygro is aquatic
