hi all. i have 2 questions about red tailed black sharks Epalzeorhynchus bicolor

1. what types of fish are compatible? i was thinking angel fish but not sure yet

2. what type of set up would be best to house a red tailed black sharks
 
i have a 5 inch one that was gave to me a few days ago that is in its own 29G because he is mean and attacks other fish.
 
They're worst with their own kind and related species. An Angel would probably be shredded unless the tank was a big one. They're best kept with schools of fast moving fish that they can chase without easily singling out one to persecute. Tiger Barbs, Giant Danios etc.
