ok cool thank you. if the second is java fern that means that it grows naturally in my lake and its all over the lake in some places reaching 4 feet in height off of the ground

No sorry not Java Moss. Looks like some sort of bladderwort. If it is it won't hurt your tank.
Does it look similar to this?
