Hi all,
The first 3 pictures are Starwort Callitriche stagnalis
Yes, a Callitriche sp., difficult to put a name to these but somewhere near C. hamulata.

The floating leaf is a Potamogeton sp., again difficult to put a name to them.

The large "Duckweed" may be Spirodela polyrrhiza, you need to look at the roots.

Egeria densa looks about right, you need to count how many leaves in a whorl to make sure.

Cheers Darrel
 
Thx so much !!

Hope you'll see something, looks like there are multiple roots
