Re: cage size for zebra pair
First off, welcome to the forum. 
If you are talking about a 30 in long cage that will be fine. The minimum that I would recommend would be 24 in long and 18 in wide, but that would be a strict minimum. With finches the rule of thumb is always the longer the better.

Re: cage size for zebra pair
Personally, I consider 30x18x18 as the minimum size cage I would use for breeding. From the time the babies fledge till when they are weaned and can be removed from the cage, you can have anywhere from 3 to 7+ birds in that cage, so it can get a bit crowded.
