The first one is cabomba caroliniana(Fanwort).
The "grass" looking one in the second picture is acorus variegatus, not a true aquatic plant. It prefers bogs.
The other plant looks like some type of ludwigia. The picture is really blurry, so its hard to tell.

You can keep it if you want it will just die off after a couple of months or you can chuck it. Tell you the truth i can not see a guppy in the pic

different thread for guppies buddy
Sushi67
Why not plant it outside or in a pot where you can keep its roots soaked?

Anyways. That other one looks like ludwigia repens.

I was gunna say what were you looking at lol there was nothing that even resembled a guppie in that pic. I don't think there was any purpose mentioning it in this thread with that pic lol. Ditto on the Ludwigia Repens. I suppose a simple bog environment could be achieved like sushi mentioned it would not be that hard to maintain.

Sounds easy enough, i got a spare pot laying around could look good in the right spot outside.

Oh yeah just a heads up. Most pots have the hole drilled in the bottom for drainage since this will be for a bog setup i think it would be best if you filled the hole up with something. I think a rock will be sufficient it will stop a tonne of water getting out but will slowly drain it as well as you do not want to have to keep emptying the pot to lessen the moisture. It would kind of act as a slow drip drain.
