Help! Plant identification

2.  looks like a crypt but you won't get a positive ID on what type unless you let it flower.  Getting it to flower means you will most likely need to grow it emerged.

3.  looks like a clump of hair grass.  If it is hair grass you are best to split it up and plant it as individual stems/roots so you get better coverage.

1.  may also be a crypt.  

Price should tell you - the above plants are generally more expensive than the stem plants sold in shops - most of which are grown emmersed and do not always convert to submersed very easily, if at all.

1&2 look like crypts and 1 may have been grown emersed. The leaves on each may melt but remove the dead stuff and theroots may gro new submersed  leaves. The third is hairgrass that has been grown emersed (common commercially---has seed heads) Will mainly die if left in a large clump as it will not get enough light. Spread it out in to small bunches of half dozen and it should start throwing runners.
