I should've noted down what day I got them but a while ago I got some plants for my tank. They weren't in perfect condition when I got them but I think they may be getting a little worse.
Anarcharis:

I don't know how visible it is in the pictures but the top of one of the stalks has turned slightly brown since I got it. Altogether I think the Anacharis was in the best condition when I bought it.
Java Fern:

There's little brown spots in some of the leaves and some of the leaves have bends in them. I am not sure if the bends are cause for concern. The one leaf near the heater sometimes touches it. The leaf might be lightening in color a bit near the ends.
Amazon Sword:

The Swords have brown spots in their leaves as well and I noticed when taking the picture some of the spots have developed into holes. I saw there was an egg sack on one of the leaves. The eggs are gone now without me doing anything to them. The Sword doesn't seem any worse from that happening.
Banana Plant:

The topmost growth wasn't very green to begin with. Not sure how well this is doing or what it may be missing. Not sure where to position it as the current in the tank pulls it along, eventually ends up stuck to the filter intake.
Water Wisteria:

This to me appears to have made the move to my tank the worst of all of them. One of the stalks I'm pretty sure outright died, some have ragged looking leaves. Are they suppose to be this shade of green or a bit darker?
Here's a full tank shot to show about how they're planted, and a pic of my thermometer.

I've been tracking and logging the conditions of the tank on my thread here: Ebreus' Cycling Thread - In progress. Updates: 10 | Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle 433762 as it's been cycling. Think the ammonia could've hurt my Anacharis? It was the closest plant to where I dosed the Ammonia.
From Deficiency List for Plants | Aquarium Plants 168302 I think the Amazon Sword and Java Fern may have Potassium Deficiency while the Wisteria is either deficient of Manganese, Magnesium, or Nitrogen.
I think the Anacharis might be healthy.
So far I've been relying on the substrate for nourishing the plants. It's Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum.
The light is a Finnex 247 Planted+ on a 24 hour timer. Lights turn on sometime around 6AM and are off sometime between midnight and 3AM. The aquarium is 48" by 6" and 12" tall.
