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.
