The bit of moss that i have in the tank looks like its growing though because i see these bright green buds at the tip of the fronds
Mike, shrimps and moss are great combination. Shrimps can clear debris from the moss and the moss provides a natural environment for the shrimps to breed But i hope it is not Yamato or Amano shrimps. They are large enough to eat up your moss.

Good to hear that your moss is growing with those bright green buds, which shows the moss has adapted to your water condition. Most of us are waiting to see these buds when we just introduced moss to the tanks. All you need is just add more moss to form a lawn or something and stick to your regime of no fert and they will do just fine.
