You have a good temperature range from other answers and habitat ideas, but as for diet I would suggest sinking pelleted food as the staple of their diet and plenty of frozen foods like blood worms, tubifex worms, blackworms and brine shrimp. They feed mainly from the bottom of the tank, so add these foods where they will make it quickly to the gravel and allow the shark to grab them up.

They are basically non aggressive with other fishes but become quite territorial with other rainbows or red tail sharks as they get older. Only one should be housed in a tank.

Rainbow sharks are small non-aggressive fish that are not territorial.
They live in water temperatures around 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

They are to be fed Carnivore pellets 2 times a day 1 pellet during each feeding

They like to live in an open habitat with some plants for hiding places but it is wise to use fake plants.

Good advice thus far. I will add that mine is more of a bully than an aggressive fish. He will chase fish, but never do any damage. He is also very selective of the fish he will chase. My blue rams and geophagus are the only fish he will chase, leaving the corys, black neons, and angel fish alone. I've also noticed that if a fish won't run from him, he won't chase them. They may seem mean, but it is all a show. Sharky is my favorite fish.
