Bamboo Shark

Well - naturally another shark (such as bamboo, eppie, or coral cat) would be a good choice, also a small stingray (such as the cortez)would work.
As for other fish - usually small eels like the snowflake are good tankmates. Sometimes a grouper can be a good tankmate - especially if the grouper is smaller.

Would the shark idea be somewhat risky if a Male Eppie and Male Bamboo got stuck together? I heard that eppies (and possibly some others) can be agressive to males of other species. Other choices sound fine though, I'm personally a big fan of the eel or ray with a shark combination.
what size tank would you suggest for a pup, i no there will be a need for around a 300 soon, but what size for a pup and how long would i be able to keep it in that smaller tank?
Yeah - best only to keep females together , or make sure you have a large enough pond to have a multi-species set up

LOL dammit, beat me to it! I had the best smart *** lines too when it came to this!
LOL. But yea, if you ever stop to notice, most exhibit animals you will encounter are females (on the mature side), when males are introduced this is generally only done before maturity, or in a single species exhibit. But in a single species exhibit, even then there is re-arranging, and removal of some animals... It can get intricate, and there is always a method to the madness, so I won't go into that right now. Either way, mixing females is generally fine, or finding a pair, though as always, you will need to monitor interactions to assure compatibilities. But two males together will be asking for...well, a bit of an aquatic smackdown.
Actually sounds more a like a nasty aquatic version of WWE Smackdown to me.
But I do fully understand Matt & Emi's point.
