mikeyfish90, there are lots of people here willing to give you good, sensible advice about fish and your tank, but you don't seem to even be reading it, let alone taking it in and following it. That kind of thing can become tiresome to people. I appreciate it's all very new, but please, if you want help, make the effort to listen and acknowledge what is being said.
Are you committed to having a tank of healthy, well cared for fish? If so, please take the advice given and learn to research properly.
The crabs cannot survive for long in that tank. As already stated: they need brackish water, which means slightly salty but not like marine/seawater, they need more space than your underwater habitat can provide, and assuming they even live long enough, if one got out you would have injured or eaten fish.
A fish that sticks to the glass - you probably mean a plec of some kind. Your tank is too small - they can grow very large.
This is very clear advice, you can take it or not. If you don't want to, fine, your choice entirely. But people may not like it if you don't - we want what is best for the fish and crabs.
Please keep asking for help and advice, it's the best way to learn, but don't make hasty decisions and purchases without checking here first. You can't just chuck any fish in there - it doesn't work like that. But there are plenty of options - we can help.
I'm sure we can get your tank running perfectly - you just need to listen and make an effort! If you're not THAT bothered, you might be on the wrong forum.
May I also suggest you click the link in my sig and read everything in the beginners section, and then what some are saying might make more sense.

May be of some help, red claw crabs In captivity it is best to keep them in 5-15 ppt salinity. That is 1/6 to 1/2 the salinity of seawater. My own experience agrees that keeping them in 100% fresh water is not tenable in the long term. These crabs eat pretty much anything that settles to the bottom of the tank. I feed Hikari loach wafers, Wardley shrimp pellets, and dried tubifex worms. Their water should be filtered and maintained somewhere between 72 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit
