Freshwater Nano Cube Aquarium (Day 13)

It's almost 2 weeks since aquarium setup. Everything's going fine, water parameters are good. Unfortunately though, 2 of my zebra danios have jumped out and died. Even though I have a cover on, they somehow managed to jump out at the side where's about 2mm space. Anyway the crayfish is happy and eats everything he finds. But he's hiding most of the day in the rock cave. Pleco didn't eat anything for like a week. I was dropping in algae wafers, but crab ate all I think. I was also putting in zucchinis and nothing. And then one day he finally ate one and pooped the tank with zucchini-green poop all over. I added a piece of driftwood for the pleco as well. The weather was really hot this week and the water temperature raised to 28-29c and as far as I know fish need more oxygen in warmer water. Fish also started to swim on top to get oxygen and crayfish crawled up and stick his head out, so I had to buy an air pump. In my other tanks the filters make enough water movement to get oxygen in the water, but apparently not in this tank, because the hose where the water gets in the tank is submerged too deep. Anyway, shortly after installing the air pump fish started to act normal again.
