Hi Henry,
nice to see you here.
Your shrimps were probably helping themselves to the rotting downois. It's not their fault really, if that is the situation, the downoi would not have survived. Downois need lots of tender loving care and there are certain ways to make them survive. They are wonderful plants really and shrimps love them as well.

i seldom come across star moss or creeping moss in Singapore...Would be interesting to take a look if there is one.

there aren't many who have it. Amongst the moss lovers out there, I only know Vic and Melvin has it. Stringy, however, is a nice moss.
