Any type of moss is good for shrimps. Just have to ensure that your water parameters are good enough for both the moss and its occupants.

Any but I noticed that when I had some peacock moss on driftwood, they would spend most of there time there. It seems that they love dirftwood more than the plants.

Moss ball is fine. I only put one piece in my setup and I notice that when CRS is on it, it is a great contrast in term of colour. In my opinion, they form a nice sight.

my shrimps spend most of their time in moss.

most mosses are good. My CRS seem to enjoy Taiwan moss, Fissiden Fontanus and "Mini Pellia" a lot.

Hmmmm, maybe thats because you had the moss on there. I keep java moss, xmas moss, peacock moss, weeping moss, mini pelia and fissidens fontanus in my CRS breeding tank. They love it and looks great with their colours.

Hi

I agree mostly with what has been said.

Any types of moss is good, and plants like Mocrosorums, and any ferns are good. I have found that they really love getting inside Lomariopsis/Subwassertang. Al of these can be grown without Co2 which helps if you have expensive CRS.

Marimo balls and UG are also good.
