Default Forgot plant name! Anyone?

Hello!

I am slowly turning my nurse tank into a more planted tank. Right now, it's more of a halfway house! lol

Anyways, I bought these

and I can't remember what they were! I mostly bought them to add shelter for fry that I keep finding. Since I am slowly adding plants to my 10g nurse tank I figured it'd be perfect. The name is not on the receipt.

If anyone knows the species it would help me out a lot! Any tips on their care is much appreciated as well.

Currently, my 10g nurse tank has:
6 platy fry
2 guppies
1 injured zebra danio
1 crypt
1 small anacharis stem
2 mystery plants (hornwort?)

Using Eco-Complete, red, for my substrate. The tank has been fully cycled as well.

Thank you in advance!!

Looks like hornwort but hard to tell. I never could get it to root and it was always floating.

If you get more plants try one of the mosses, like java moss, it's great for fry to hide when it gets going.
