Persicaria "Sao Paulo"
Rotala wallichii
Ludwigia sp. "White"
Proserpinaca palustris
Rotala ramosior "Florida"
Rotala macrandra
<Najas roraima> (very scarce outside India but worth a mention in case you spot it)

Yes sure. Succulent leaves are not found in aquariums but there are a few broad leaved ones I would consider:
Aponogeton ulvaceus
Aponogeton madagascariensis
Echinodorus "Aflame"
Piptospatha ridleyi
Cryptocoryne wendtii "Flamingo"
Cryptocoryne nurii “Pink Line”
Cryptocoryne Regina "Silver Queen"
Lagenandra meeboldi "Silver Queen" and "Silver Powder"
Lagenandra meeboldii "Red"
Homalomena "Red" is beautiful submerged and is likely "H. insignis" but very few people have tried it, although I think you might be able to get it on Etsy-USA. It would require carbon dioxide injection; as would these...
Rhaphidophora beccarii has quite a succulent look submerged but grows as a trailing vine.
Dicranopygium sp. "Guna Yala" hasn't been tested in an aquarium yet but it is a true rheophyte and is more common in your neck of the woods, often expensive and scarce.
Keep an eye out for Philodendron carajasense sp. nov. because it is now as far north as Mexico and might be worth introducing to the hobby, especially if you are walking on one of the watercourse outlets along the Gulf of Mexico as it might have made it's way across during a tropical storm. It's been described as a rare example of a rheophytic philodendron, but little is known.
