Gonna be wrong here but here's a stab in the dark, Cyperus, Myriophyllum, sagittaria subulata/echinodorus quadricostatus, crypt parva/willisii, and i wanna say either rotala or heteranthera/some stargrass of some sort?

Hmm just wondering if the first one is actually Ophiopogon japonicus which isn't aquatic

You could definitely be right, hard to tell with the pic but does look like variegation, would also maybe expect to see some plantlets or flowering stems on Emersed grown cyperus.

Three is grown emersed, it's either Helianthum quadricostatus or Helanthium "bolivianum" quadricostatus, the last one is indeed hard, part of me feels like it's an emersed stem plant.seems so hard to determine some of these, especially the third and five

The red one likely could be Myriophyllum tuberculatum.

Myriophyllum tuberculatum
Myriophyllum tuberculatum populates slow-flowing and stagnant waters in the Asian tropics. In Europe, this milfoil is readily available in trade, in the US, however, it is not very widely spread yet. Most shops and online shops there errone...

It is a rather difficult plant it needs ample light and or CO² and proper temperatures. In the trade here in Europe, it's because of this usually only seasonal available somewhere in the summer. And then it's often erroneously sold as M. Mattogrossense.

I did read recently about some UK suppliers having problems getting their plants wholesale from thailand due to a certain situation with trade and taxes in the UK, but I've not bought imported plants for a few years now, and whenever I did they had all sorts of insects residing in them, and although they probably won't survive in our climate, you never know what you are bringing in, the processes used to sterilize these plants is not quite good enough in my opinion.
Thanks. I visited my LFS today. Was considering getting some Tuberculatum but wanted to read someone's experience from growing it to understand more about its requirements and also its growth pattern (eg: does it grow straight or does it bend a lot)
But then, I saw Ammannia Sengelansis ...... so I got that instead

If they did it likely would kill your shrimps and fish too... Also, this is reported, imported insecticides with the plants...
Either way, there is always a risk with importing from unknown foreign sources, better let it be and only buy from local retailers...
