I know it isn't native, but does anyone know if this is Myriophyllum aquaticum or Dwarf Myriophyllum sp.?

Photo 1 = Myriophyllum aquaticum
Photos 6-7 = some sort of Polygonum species
Photos 8-9 = looks like some sort of Galium species.

I collected some plants that are like pictures 8 & 9, this past week. They usually grow on the side of the river bank, or in short patches in the river (They rise above the water). The plants where I collected haven't started to come out, but after I put them in the tank they've come to life. I wonder if I'll be able to keep them in the tank, since they come out of the water about a foot?

I'm not sure if pics 6-9 are aquatic or just bog plants that can survive underwater or something. I'm pretty sure 2-5 is an aquatic plant. the last one I thought was aquatic since I didn't see anything similar above-water on the banks or anything.

Well let me know a few months from now. Mine have been sprouting out quickly and doing good, so far.

Photo 6 is definitely not aquatic and will decline over time unless part of it sticks out above water.
I don't have much hope for #8/9 either. Most likely terrestrial.

My plants like picture #8 are doing good, but I know they will have to stick out of water to survive. It doesn't bother me to have them sticking out of water. I'll have to put them near a window. I've seen them do good in low light places.

I also got a new type of plant today. It is 100% aquatic
