Nicest looking moss for shrimp tank?

Probably a little long-stranded, but I'm a big fan of flame moss as a unique-looking moss and one that has always grown slowly for me. It also will attach to everything I put it on.

Im undecided. I have 12 (5 gallon tanks) for shrimp. I don't know what kind of the 2 to get. I had HC in them. but I have no idea what to get for all 12, price wise im not a big spender in plants. I keep it simple with moss.

Mini Pellia is my "go-to" for shrimp tanks:

 

I just got some and have been melting it. It is now in a fresh tank (found a fluval flora for 50% off) so I could throw some ferts in and it is still melting.

 

Is there a trick to it? I melted dwarf baby tears and understood mini pellia was easy in a low tech lowish light tank.

Should I what is left and just scatter it on the substrate?

I have pulled all my flame as it went weird. I was cutting half off 1-2x per month as it grew so fast. Then after ~9 months it started turning brown at the base.

So when it was ~6" and the bottom 3" of that was brown I pulled it all. I'm replacing with buce now.
