hey guys, care to ID my plants?

I bought the big grassy thing/s as 'golden rush', no idea about the bushy one/s. no idea about the sword/s - something melon I think.

lets hope I didn't waste my money on plants that need different stuff...

Second one looks like Mondo grass to me which are not true aquatic plants. The first one looks like a terrestrial as well but specific ID is unknown to me.
 
first looks like a hygrophila probably polysperma or stricta. the last will be melon sword an amazon sword, nice tall one. the grass is probably terrestrial so will die in a month or two.

melon sword! that's the one!.

I hope the grass doesn't die...

the small grass is hairgrass, by the way.
 
first one is def not h. polysperma. h. stricta sounds right though.

The "gold" rush is also known as japanese varigated rush, it grows on the edges of ponds with it's roots submerged. If it's fully submerged, then it will just slowly die.
 
Looks like I'll need a better grass background then... hmm, I don't want val, it just looks ratty.

any suggestions?
