    I got these plants today, no idea what they are called.
    Sorry about the bad pics, best I could do. They all get about medium light, 10 or so hrs a day.
    Thanks!

    1 and 2 are anacaris aka elodea, the last one looks like a sword of sorts 4 looks like it could be a green bacopa or type of hygrophyllia

    with the gold fish and shubunkin in there you might struggle with some of those plants IME
    They will eat a lot of your Elodea for certain
    the broader leaved and tougher species would be ok IMO

    The set up looks good to me Secuono
