I'm rubbish at these!!

Is the first anubias of some sort? Are the leaves thick and plasticy like?

The second...maybe an echinodorus sp?

third - pass

forth looks like a fern of some sort. possibly not strictly an aquarium plant?

fifth - pass

sixth is cabomba i think

Have a look here: see if any of these look like them

someone else said that 4 didnt look like an aquarium plant, but i bought them all from an aquatic shop lol

yeah they do sell plants that aren't truly aquatic, but they do last for a while. I had some in my batch of online plants I ordered.

first one is anubias. these plants have a thing called a rhizome at the base of the leaves in which the leaves and roots grow out of. if planted into the substrate the rhizome will rot so it needs to be attached to some wood or a rock. you can do this using fishing line or cotton thread which will eventually rot away and the anubias with attach itself with its roots. they also grow well in low lit tanks.

the second looks to me like some sort of Amazon sword. fairly easy to keep but can grow quite big, slowly mind you.

the third and forth dont look particularly aquatic.

the fifth might not even be aquatic either. when the plant is out of the water does it stand up straight or flop over? if it stands up straight it probably isnt aquatic, maybe semi aquatic though. keep an eye on it.

the last one could be Ceratophyllum demersum or cabomba

4 = selaginella, it will die very soon.

5 looks like a Vallis.

1 is an Anubias, the comments above apply.
2 is an Echinodorus species, bleheri maybe., comments as above.
3 is Bolbitis heudelotii, an aquatic fern from West Africa. It only really does well in soft water, and really is not an easy plant to grow. A very similar looking plant is Trichomanes javanicum which is not a true aquatic, and will simply rot.
4 may or may not be a club moss, and may or may not be aquatic. A few of the almost identical species will tolerate submersion in water, although more often found around waterfalls so not totally submerged all the time.
5 is Vallisneria, probably americana.
6 is Cabomba caroliniana.

Whatever, you have a collection of plants there which require drastically different conditions to really thrive.
