#'s 1 and 2 Both look like non aquatic plants ... Yellow / Gold ribbon and Mondo Grass respectively. Middle left (3) looks like a sword, Middle Right (4) Java fern
bottom also looks like a sword of some sort.

See the link below for the non aquatics ... There is a chance number 2 could be a micro sword ... but it's hard for me to tell.
PlantGeek.net - Plant Guide
 
The only picture I can say for sure is Java Fern. The first two don't look to be aquatic (dracaena and mondo grass as jetajockey and jcolon pointed out), but 3 and 5 don't look aquatic to me... though I have no idea what they are.
 
I hope I'm wrong, but #3 also looks like a non-aquatic - Spathyphillum. Commonly called Peace Lily. I *think* it's often marketed as Brazilian Sword? (as opposed to Amazon Sword)

I have to agree, although it's possible number 5 may be hygro of some sort. Hard to tell from the pic..

Ryan, does the 3rd plant have a rhizome, or is it stems?

2 micro sword? Dwarf sag? It does not look like mondo the leaves are cylinder shaped instead of flat like mondo
3 Anubias congensis:) leaves don't look like peace Lilly and peace Lilly is more dense but roots are growing like mad
