I disappeared for a while and during that time I bought a nice big tank (3 foot long) and a fixture with two sunblaster t5's in it for my three young Nepenthes. It's been about a week since I introduced them to the new light fixture and already I'm seeing massive improvements in their health (after they moved from the tiny 10 gallon the one small bulb was not enough for them and they didn't do well) Anyway, the tank is looking a little... empty. I was wondering what other plants (carnivorous or otherwise) would thrive in the tank. I keep the humidity floating around 60-70% at all times and it's about 70 degrees in the tank (slightly higher than the temperature of the room) I was thinking Mimosa pudica because I really like those but I understand it will eventually turn into a large bushy thing and I kind of want something that's going to stay a little smaller.

Mimosa pudica is fine in room conditions in a sunny place.

For anything your heart is set on, but grows too large, consider using basic Bonsai techniques. The lazy man's version is to constrain the roots by keeping it potted when planted. The guy who wants to keep his options open goes even further by Slack potting which is where you bury another pot the same size and just set your potted jewel in it to access it easily at any time. I use it for plants that I have no experience with and think that somewhere called it a shrub. Or for upright plants that I am sure to be pruning.
