I agree with @Crispii The anacharis appears to be the broad leaf verity I like that better than the narrow leaf but both are great at absorbing ammonia and you can let them float too is you want. I have both verities in my tanks

It's hard to tell if you have it or not, but the rhizome on the anubias shouldn't be planted

The thick root like thing that the leaves grow from is the rhizome, and it will rot when buried. The thin roots are OK buried but as Metalhead said, the rhizome should be above the substrate.
