Microanthenum umbrosum and dwarf sword?

Looks like young vallis, is that second hard substrate ? 

[gavin123]

I think you are right about the Microanthenum umbrosum, Thanks! but im not too sure about it being dwarf swords .  Its ADA aqua soil in both. They are really fast growers , spread by putting off runners , i can pull one up if that helps?

[gavin123]

Im thinking maybe dwarf sagittaria? looks really similar when i look at pictures on google

Dwarf sagittaria is my guess and Microanthenum umbrosum for the first one

[Riggers]

I'll weigh in on this one

I reckon the first one could be a variety of riccia and the second is narrow vallis

[Mattia]

I dont think it is Vallis, as usually when a new plant comes up the leaves are always looking straight up, don't fall down as the one in the pic...

Micranthum umbrossum for the first one.

 

The 2nd is a bit tricky. It looks to have some stripes in the leaves that I've seen in the  "Little Yabba Creek" Vallis and a few other varieties but only on the older leaves (not both the newer and older). My original thought based on the first pic was Sagitaria subdulata. It's been a while since I've had a decent gander at both the plants and my memory hasn't been the best of late.

 

I will go with my gut feeling and say Sagitaria

second one may be dwarf sagittaria, i have exactly the same looking plant in my tank and it was purchased as dwarf sag
