How do I keep this moss?

How do I keep this moss?

So to make a short story even shorter, I lifted up my half full 10 gallon tank to see if I could set it on the floor (i also got my leveling mat in) and then set it back down on top of the heater's plug without realizing until I heard ominous cracking and noticed my tank wasn't level. The cracking was my tank and now it's gonezo. My issue here is I got 6 packets of Java moss in today as well and it'll be about 10-11 days before I can get a new tank. I currently have two other tanks but they are filled with snails and I want to hold off on an invasion for as long as possible with my new tank. What can I do?

Ready for my betta fraternity and 3 plecos?

Temp: 70°F for some reason the heat isn't reaching the water?

Parameters: idk what that is

Stock: planning on my 10 male bettas (used to have 20 but they keep dying?) and 3 common plecos. Let me know what else to add!

The bluest neo in my tank

My lovely old boss gifted me a pothos when I went into the restaurant and my shrimp and snails LOVE it. It brought out the most vibrant shrimp I've seen yet. Bonus baby next to them

So here is my rendition of my 10 gallon tank. I already have the tree base (no moss) and the sand in place, but that's it. The crypto and the dwarf sag are in different tanks. What I want now is more tall greenery. I want a LOT of plants for cover. The tank is gonna have higher pH, lower to mid level lighting, and probably 77°F

So yesterday I was adding new plants to my tank, and a little bit after, I noticed one of my shrimp on his side. I was immediately alarmed and thought he was dead. I told my boyfriend, got my feelings out, then grabbed the net to get him. When it couldn't reach, I grabbed my tweezers, got them around him, then he darted off. I felt relieved but saw he was still lethargic. During this, I spotted a couple of females also not moving. I left them alone for a while because I figured he was in the process of passing away (he was on his back at this point) and I was super stressed. When I went to get him from the tank thinking enough time had passed for him to be gone, I removed my driftwood for easier access and BOOM. All my shrimp are fine. Now they're just swimming around and shit like they didn't have me almost crying thinking I killed them. In the middle of this, I tested my water and ammonia and nitrites were at 0 while nitrates were at 40 (I overfed, they're lower than before). Yesterday I thought I killed them all and they're acting like nothing happened. I even had to convince the little lobsters to move out of my way while scaping their tank. Bozos. I love them.

Sorry if this type of post isnt allowed (couldnt find anything against it in rules but hey) but I'm trying to move out of my small town and want to know if theres any places that allow a large dog and a cat? Most places I've found are not specific or only allow below 40lbs. I have a 50lb German shepherd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! (Pet tax paid)
