At first it was slow growing, however now it's starting to take off, not
nearly as fast as Myrophylia though.

Just looked into the tank and one shrimp gave up the ghost last night, but
the other is continuing to scrounge around. I don't think these shrimp live
very long, they're sold as food. I haven't observed the ram paying any
attention to the shrimp, he seems more interested in eating the Riccia, but
he's still a little skittish. The second ram didn't survive. He was pretty
stressed from moving to his new environment.
BTW anyone looking for Potassium Nitrate for PMDD, I found it sold as "stump
remover" in a plant nursery. Lucky I found a knowledgeable sales person.
