Looks like Cryptocoryne wendtii to me. It probably won't get too much bigger than it is now. In lower light they get a bit bigger, in higher light a bit smaller. Hope that helps.

If it's shaded, it still could be Crypt wendtii.

The other two pictures are Hygrophila corymbosa ''angustifolia''

question, this plant is like 6 inches out of the water now, it grows by the mile! what could i do so that the leaves stay green and don't die out of the water?

Yeah, you'd have to cut the whole leaf off.
