I picked one up today at my lfs and i just want to make sure that is what she really is..I trust my lfs but i dont trust the distributors to label them right. I also got what was written as a brown pacific octopus which my research says get big but the distributor told my lfs that they stay small....sooooo.. I will have to post pics tomorrow. My laptop is running real slow tonight so i cant seem to post any pics till i get downstairs to desktop.
Does anyone have an acurate picture of an asian bamboo?

I may have been mistaken it may have been called a arabian...damn this memory...lol...ok looked it up from the messages...Arabian cat shark or a bristly cat shark
Is it a banded cat shark you're talking about? If so they get about 3ft.
As for the octopus, it it a bimac? I think the common name is California 2 spot octopus. These stay relatively manageable. You can keep an adult in a 55 for life

Arabian look similar to brown banded when young. They loose the striping much faster and stay smaller. I've got both species in the same display. I'll see if I can get side by side pics for you.
Arabian are very rare in the US pet trade.

Thank you guys. Thank you zoo diver for the pics as well. I am definitely convinced she's an Arabian. I have brown banded and she's not a brown banded. Her skin is more leather like with smaller scales and she is over all differently put together. She is absolutely stunning though. I am so glad I got her. She has been eating great since the first night home. The octopus is doing well to. Eating like a champ. Thank you zoo diver. Any were you know of I can get more info on her?
Here's a pic of her in the holding tub till I know she is eating. Only pic I have at the moment. I'll try to get more.
