Because I've never been much of a plant guy.. just picked up a couple of plants for my stem jungle today, and need some IDs.

I believe this to be Bacopa monnieri, but just wanted to be sure.

Unsure of this one.. leaf tops are green, and bottoms are varying shades of red, pink and brown.

1) You are correct. Bacopa monnieri (moneywort)
2) Looks like Ludwigia repens

I was leaning Ludwigia as well.. I don't think it's repens, as I have it in the same tank, and repens' leaves are much larger/rounder compared to this plant. I'm beginning to think it's repens x arcuata though.. still not sure.

if the leaves are rounder and bigger than repens, it's likely L. palustris.

It's the opposite.. as I mentioned in the previous post, repens' leaves are larger and rounder than this plant's.
