I like Fittonias, which do very well in vivariums, especially those with good light, where they stay more compact. The most commonly used are varieties of F. vershaffeltii, some of which have pink veins instead of white ones. They grow nicely from cuttings. You can just strip off a couple of the lower leaves of a cutting and stuff the stem down into the substrate.

Here's a photo of one of my reticulatus on a Fittonia leaf from a cutting.
