I wouldn't do anything for the moment, as adding more stuff will just create problems and also take the main focus away from the betta. If you want to keep a community of fish and other aquautic critters, then buy a tank, as a bowl is something that shouldn't really be turned into an ecosystem, for your benifit, and most importantly the fishes sake.

Yeah, bowls are fine for bettas, but I wouldn't add anything else in there with him.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
