Default jumping fish

I have one clown fish that has been know to jump. This morning when i woke up he was missing. Knowing his habits i checked the floor and there he was on the ground. Luckily for me he was still barely alive. I have a lid, but there are just some spaces in the back of the lid where the filter and proteing skimmer go(hang on the back) is there anything i can do to prevent this in the future

can you jimmy some soft screen onto those areas? Maybe drill small holes and get them on with twist ties or zip ties.

I'd just find some flexible plastic to cut into the desidered shape to stop the loach from jumping out.
