Ordered the pheonix moss, some java fern windelov (the regular java fern they sell looked a bit large for my tiny bowl), and another crypt. Got the first crypt in, though might need a better spot as the place I put it isn't the deepest sand-wise. And thanks to my decision to separate the sand/soil/gravel with plastic mesh, I can't put the crypt deeper than it is. I mean, once the roots grow out and latch down under the mesh it won't uproot itself anyway, but I don't like seeing the top part of the roots like I can right now. Won't get the new plants until about March 8 (earlier if I'm lucky) but we'll see. I'll look into removing all the moss tomorrow with my water change and adjusting the crypt too.
Fed the fish today though and my goodness. They're not the brightest things. The shrimp were all for it, eating away the frozen mysis shrimp like a buffet but the fish themselves were a nibble here, a nibble there, another nibble like an hour later. Little stinkers. Wish they'd just eat when I feed them but they're too busy hiding from me or flaring/chasing each other.
