    The top one looks like an amazon sword.

    2. Hemigraphis colorata ‘exotica’ (apparently not a aquatic plant)

    He mentioned it might be a Lobelia Cardinalis but is leaning more towards L.repens

    Cool, time will tell. Could be that it was grown emersed and will look different once transformed to the submersed state. Plants can also sometimes look very different depending on the light, ferts and CO2 given.

    It’s mostly the strong veining / indentation pattern on the leaves, but also the structure & nodes of the stem itself, that makes me think it’s not a Ludwigia.

    Anyone else? @Pezulu ?

    I doubt that one is Ludwigia
