Wow!

Put my plant order in, after looking at 3 different places and weighing the pros and cons..

40 plants at $10 a pop.. $450 with tax..

Am I ordering too many plants??

Here's the breakdown, for a 75g.

3 Bolbitis heudelotii
5 A. reineckii (pink)
6 A. barteri var. nana
8 C. caroliniana
8 E. tennelus
5 H. Zosterfolia
2 Frogbit (floating plant bunches)
4 Riccia fluitans

Too many?? Am I getting ripped off?

That's to my door (well, the door of the lfs, 5 minutes away), and the quality is really good (I've seen the plants they get in).

They're from Tropica.com

$10 a plant does NOT sound reasonable. You could also order less of some since they are very fast growers, particularly Zosterfolia, riccia, tennelus
