First pic Echinodorus of some sort, second one, if I were to venture a guess, Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia, or something similar

1st one looks like E.bleheri - a young one at least,before the leaves elongate... Not sure of 2nd Crypto - is it new? Might be emersed growth that I dont recognize...

Yup - then the 2nd is Cryptocoryne wendtii - leaves are gonna change quite a bit once it gets established and grows its new submerged leaves...dont worry if these "melt"... Still think the Amazon Sword is an E.bleheri - just emersed growth... Take those thingies off their bases and plant directly into substrate... The A.Sword is gonna get HUGE if I got my ID correct,so plan for that....
