Can shrimp be raised along with Tilapia in an Aquaponic system?

Currently Im setting up an aquaponic system in which Tilapia will be raised and the discharged water from the fish tanks will be sent to water beds where styrofoam “planks”will have lettuce etc in place. Can Prawn (freshwater shrimp) be raised in the water beds with the vegetables thus producing an additional (3rd) product? I heard they wont harm the roots of the plants.

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?
