    May I know what moss is this?
    Hope that the picture is clear enough?
    Is it weeping moss?

    I believe that is indeed weeping moss.

    If someone with experience of weeping moss wants to confirm would be better

    christmas moss has the traditional christmas tree shaped leaf, it looks like weeping moss to me just without the needles.

    Do you dose ferts? It looks a bit under nurished for sure.

    not necessary, moss are dificult to identify just by looking at picture. Water quality, water temperature and light effect its grow and will somehow look different.
