What kind of substrate are you using? Swords are heavy root feeders - it looks like you have regular gravel as your substrate. You should add some root tabs right around your sword...it should really take off then.

Um...it depends on the plant really. Some plants like java fern and water sprite seem to not really care at all, where plants like glossostigma will take off in water that is more acidic. For your purposes, it doesn't really matter much. Your plants will probably do fine in almost all types of water.
