Zebra's are great, but they are very delicate at times. The tank looks like it is a cube tank, so I can tell you from experience it is a bad idea. I had a lion fish (Zebra) in a 29 Gallon Bio Cube, and died within 24 hrs. Thank GOd my LFS gtd Marine Fish for 7 days. So, I would stay away from Lionfish in cubes, because they really dont have the fun they need.
wow, as i keep reading im thinking of how bad my LFS is, 7 day gtd!!... i bought a goby and before i got home it died in the bag within 10 miuntes i called them and they said sorry once it leaves the store its not our responsability.

Was your car really cold or hot or something? I find it very weird that a fish would die under normal conditions from being in a bag for 10 minutes. Reminds me of back when I was 16 and had my old black civic with broken a/c and used to have to get crickets for my treefrogs that would sometimes die on the car ride home. If I'm buying a fish from my LFS I usually keep my car remote started with ac or heat on depending on the season so there isn't a big temperature change when I go back into it.

34 wouldnt be enough bc the second fish u are going to add has to be bigger than the lionfish mouth. not enough room! and never buy stuff from *****. i have a extremely reliable source who knows ppl who import and export exotic/marine fish. ***** gets the bottom line of crap!
don't be hating on all petcos, yeah alot get them from seagrest, which I admit is crap, but the store where I work gets all of our shipments from A&M aquatics, and let me tell you what the stuff is top of the line. you gotta actually go to the store and talk to who is in the fish department before you condem every ***** in existence
