how well does Riccia fluitans moss do in a tank with no water feature is it about equal to java moss?

its slow growing but does make a great carpet on the viv if you keep it moist by misting often. I have the whole bottom of my 10 vert covered in the stuff. It started off 5 months ago sparsely covered. Today its filled in nice and is growing tighter and tighter

From what I have seen its a bit faster growing out of the water than java. I only have some very small sections going so far with hopes of more soon.
