Default New member motor questions

I am setting up a small vase as a shrimp tank and I am going to light it with LEDs and aerate the water with an electric motor. I figured you guys would be the best people to ask, is there a low power motor I could hook up to a battery like a AA or something that I could leave on 24/7, and if it cant stay on 24/7 what about 12 hours a day? I will have the motor mounted in a foam casing to muffle any noise and vibration, this will be siliconed to the lid I'm making for the vase, I will attach a paddle wheel or small propeller to the motor to churn the surface of the water a little make a small current. What do you guys think would be a good motor for this purpose? Thanks guys.
