I believe that fern is non-aquatic unfortunately

Crepidomanes auriculatum, I got it from a fish store that orders it from Aqua Forest. It supposed to be "true aquatic", and from what I've read from other users is that it grows really slowly under water, but it does pretty well, and even better with CO2.

The other fern that looks like java fern I think is Bolbitis heteroclita, I got that from Petsmart. I'm just going to try it aquatic, and if it doesn't work out, will grow it emersed in my riparium.

Great tank. This is the way I should of started my tank so the carpet could grow. Which is better Fissidens Fontanus or Dwarf Hair Grass?

I don't much care for DHG, Fissidens fontanus would definitely be much more interesting. The key for moss is low light but good CO2 saturation, that way it won't be plagued with algae.
