the peeps at petsmart said that the LF can only get 6 inches and the shark can get 6 inches but the pleco can get 18 inches and i think they said 2.5 for the angel fish but they said that the pleco udjusts to the size it feels comfortable with in the tank then stops growing
 
I really wouldn't. I could imagine some people doing it, and probably having it work, but it really depends on the size of your tank.

Unfortunately, both rainbow sharks, and leporinus fasciatus are both pretty mean fish. The shark is more territorial, so it by itself shouldn't be too terrible is you got an angel.

The L.F. though, they can reach sizes up to a foot and are very aggressive. They would definitely at one point even beat up a rainbow shark.

If you had the angel in the tank first, I'd say your chances are best, but putting it in last would 'most likely' be trouble.

But who knows, as long as you had a big tank and a lot of cover, it may work. That is until the L.F. gets large.
