I'm going to start with a school of six neons and 3 ghost shrimp.

That sounds perfect! You'll be able to add a bit more later, but this sounds like a super beginning.

BTW, everything I've heard about Java moss is that it is a fast grower, even in low light.

I don't have Java moss, but I have found that a very reliable sourch of information on aquatic plants is the Tropica website,
http://www.tropica.com/default.asp
Go there and click on Vesicularia dubyana (scientific name for Java moss) from the menu at the right, and you'll see that they say it grows slowly.
Hmmmm, I just read what they said about Ceratopteris thalictroides, aka water sprite. It's supposed to be a really good plant that grows in just about any tank, but it's dying in mine. The Tropica website says that its light requiremenets are "high-very high" which I definitely don't have with 30W over a 20gal tank. Maybe that's why its dying. Here again, Tropica seems to be more accurate than other things I've heard.
