Pterois volitans is a big fish. They have been recorded to hit 15'' in the wild. Fifty gallons is less than half of what is optimal in the long run, though a baby could be kept in a 34 gallon tank. They grow incredibly quickly, however.

A 34 gallon tank could easily sustain a dwarf lion. I would stick to one of these if I were you.
