They can grow at the temperature you mention. It just normally moss grow fatter in colder water.

I do not think it will grow slower, my experience I can't see the different. In-fact theoretically it grow faster, since metabolism is faster in warmer temperature.

Java moss and a moss free from fellow forumer... cannot remember the name.

My tank is near the window for Morning sun. But now i place a tracing paper behind so as not too stong sunlight get thru'. Nanas is the best. My Java Ferns are springing new shoots from the leafs. very strange. every leaf seems to have a shoot with root attached to it.

The java moss should be ok. All your plant are quite hardy so it should be ok. You might want to trim those leaf with new shoot. It is normal, that how the fern propagate.
