As some of the previous people have mention, in short, no you cannot keep a bamboo in that small of a tank, it will outgrow it. Also A queen angel and purple tang are not the best tank mates for smaller carpet sharks as they sometimes get curious and bit at the sharks fins and eyes. I would recommend around a 300 gallon tank at least for a bamboo. Hope this helps
