when the arrive? I want my tanks to look full along the back and sides, but
don't know how far apart they should be when i put them in. Thanks for any
advice.

Matt,

Check out www.tropica.com for a pretty good database of plant species, their
sizes and growth rates. Sword plants are all Echinodorus species. There are
quite a few of them, sold with confusing names, but you may be able to identify
the precise one either by looks or by contacting your vendor.

Good luck!
