I have over 30 at least. 50 cents a piece. Shipping would be USPS priority. Probably $6. I know this is a little counter-intuitive on my part but the plants will start sending out runners like mad, so you don't really need a whole lot initially. And yeah every once in a while dwarf sag decides it doesn't doesn't like being dwarf and grows to the top of the tank lol. You can always cut the leaves like you would cut grass. It's a lot easier to care for than chain swords or dwarf hair grass though.
