That lionfish will get to large for a 29g biocube. It would also eat the shrimp, and maybe the clown once large enough. You might want to look at the fuuzzy, fu manch, or zebra lionfish. These lionfish tend to be hardest ones to get to eat forzen prepared foods.

 

[Scuba Kid]

I don't reccomend any lionfish for a 29 gallon biocube, and not with your stocklist.

 

[BIGgourami]

same as scuba kid, and just for future reference no pterois lion get less than 11" long

 

[hayden]

minimum means to sustain life not to be healthy and happy. they need to move they are basically a 8 or 9 inch sphere full grown imagine a size 4 soccer ball in a 29 gallon tank its huge compared to the tank right?
