is a 29 gallon tank suitable for a rainbow shark? i have a 29 gallon tank with 7 tiger barbs n 2 chinese algae eaters..
 
I wouldn't go under 55 gallons for a single rainbow shark, same for red tailed black sharks. They also need to be kept with similar sized fish that are fairly agressive, tiger barbs are a bit on the small side. Though CAEs could probably hold their own I wouldn't keep two of those together as they're agressive buggers themselves once they mature a bit.

i would say its too small for that fish, i know they only grow to 5 or 6 inches, but they need swimming space! 50g minimum bigger if you can. imo
