Could get a pair of coral catsharks, a pair of bamboos may get to big. Anyways, coral catsharks are much more active in my opinion. Tankmates could include tangs, groupers, stingrays, etc. No angels, triggers, puffers, lionfish and the list goes on

Yeah, small catsharks (marble or coral) would be the way to go. Avoid most of the bamboo sharks as they would outgrow that tank.

As for bamboos or Eppies - if you do get one - be sure to stick with a smaller species such as the Gray Bamboo(C. griseum), Arabian Bamboo(C. arabicum) or the Papuan Eppie (H. hallstromi) as these species all grow to only about 30 inches. So you should be okay since this is only about 3 inches more that a Coral Catshark maximum of 27".

any additions to what was stated above as good tankmates?

if you want bamboo, look for the Arabian as mentioned. Those are fairly hardy and stay a good size for your tank.
