I am building a bioactive viv and these are the plants I have collected to plant in the ground substrate and mounted wall baskets and hanging baskets:

Fluffy Ruffle Fern
Pan Am Pilea
Schefflera
Pothos (Neon)
Pothos (Fernandos Fire)
Prayer Plant
Petra Croton
Red Anne Fittonia

I went to a Butterfly Greenhouse today and saw some of these specimens that grew huge! Peace Lily and Croton were easily 4-5 feet tall and wide.

Let me know if any of these will grow far too large for a viv. My viv is glass and 36w 18d 48h.

I have built two planted vivs in the past. I remember my Ficus pumilia (Creeping Fig) grew like a weed and choked out most of the grow space and covered everything.

I want to avoid some of the plants that are known to grow too large or take over.

Future plants I want to add are some bromeliads, rubber tree, ficus, and get some sphagnum moss to grow on the walls.
 
All of these plants will be wonderful. Croton can grow to a decent height over time. Schefflera will probably be your tallest plant and provided you maintain it with trimming as it grows taller, it should be fine.
