I would like to positively identify these plants. The first was sold as staurogyene repens and the second was sold as a val. Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

I think that first one may be a hygrophila or perhaps a bacopa, though these are just guesses. I can't tell the proper size of the leaves in comparison to the stem/height.

That last one is a val. Very nice and easy to grow.
 
Ahh. There is a hygrophila cutting behind the plant in question. It was a stray from making room. Also, there's some bacopa behind the plant in question. I am fairly familiar with bacopa leaf structure and the plant in question has more veins on the leaf.
 
The internodal length look way long to be staurogyne repens. If it grows shorter after getting used to the tank (and assuming you have decent light), that will be a good indication. Otherwise, looks like something else.

Challenge accepted. I mean thanks!
