I might have a better idea about the floating plants if you could get a close-up of the leaves..

Your sword may actually be a ''crypt'' but this was the most similar of the bronze type I saw in a picture...

Or maybe a sword....(keep in mind some plants grow differently when given different light and different conditions - ie: micro sword grows very thick and short when given enough light, but in my 16gal it grows tall and sparse)

the first plant is what is commonly called a "red indian sword" i have several in my tank, they do grow upwards given some time, and they also bush out. not sure exactly what the second one is by the picture given, too hard to tell what the leaf shape trully is, the last plant is in the sword family i will do some more research and get back to you on the actual name of it.

hope this helps
