Donating to the Museum
Upon donating it to the Museum, Blathers will say;
"As its flashy coloration suggests, the zebra turkeyfish is poisonous. In other words, it's trying to tell you, "Touch me and you're sure to be right sorry, my fine friend!" Its slow, deliberate swimming style also suggests that this is one fish not to mess with!"
It can be found in the tank at the back of the aquarium, with the other ocean fish.

The Zebra Turkeyfish, also known as the Lionfish, is a carnivorous fish. It can be found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. It has thirteen poisonous spines on its back which it uses to protect itself, though they are immune to each other's venom. They have no known natural predators, thus making them instinctively calm. They are slow moving fish.
