do freshwater shrimp need to have constant bubbles to add oxygen in their water?

i have a betta fish and i was thinking about getting him a shrimp as a tankmate, but i’m at college and during breaks i’m taking him home to stay in a little bowl until I come back and put him in his tank. So would my shrimp be able to stay the bowl or would I have to leave him at college? I wouldn’t be able to feed him then, but there are plants and roots for him to nibble on.
Is it doable? Should I forget the whole thing? Any suggestions?
oh my tank my betta is in already has an air pump in it. it all came together in a betta kit. it’s not good for the betta?

Good shrimp for a salt water nano tank.?

I have a friend to help me with the startup and maintenance aspects of a salt water tank, he’s got an amazing one in his home and I’m pretty well-versed in freshwater keeping.

My question is what are some really interesting shrimp (I don’t want any fish, it’s too small – 3 gallons) that are interesting and won’t kill each other.

I’m looking to have 2-3 shrimp, maybe some crabs or some snails.

I know nothing about salt water creatures so please suggest easier ones.

Late night Light Dinner Ideas… Please!?

My husband and I get home from work nightly from 930pm-11pm. By that time we are hungry and have to cook dinner. I need some idea for some filling yet not so heavy dinners so late at night. Because I know it’s not healthy to eat so late anyways. So if you guys could suggest light dinners with chicken, shrimp etc… Also ideas to make the cooking go faster. I use a George Foreman Grill and I am going to start defrosting things overnight and seasoning them in the morning.
