Around here Najas guadalupensis is Guppy Grass.  http://www.naturalaquariums.com/plants/najas.html

I like to put a sprig in every tank and come swap or auction time I've got lots to spread around.     That's the stuff I sold to Mark the Plant Guy down at the GCAS swap last February.

Water Lettuce is the larger leaved floater. Outside it grows large in the summer.
The small floaters, 1/16th inch, are duckweed, Lemna minor.
The pink leaves are little stems of a Ludwigia repens rubin or Ludwigia repens x arcuata; not sure which you got.
Guppy grass is the Naja...Dennis got it right (no surprise   )
Have fun with them.

....it looks like guppy weed too......

It probably is!  It can grow so thick that it is a lush dark green closer to the lights and then lightens up further down in the tank.

It is! The 5g tank it was growing in was THICK with it. The bottom stems were lighter due to less light available to it because of the thick mass above shading the lower levels.
