Hi, Ive been doing alot of research for around a year now on keeping sharks. I finally have a 96x48x36 tank, Huge skimmer, chiller, and heaters. I been wanting to get a gray bamboo shark, I have looked everywhere and cant find one for sale? I would like to get one very small and get to see him or her grow. I was also thinking of getting a ray that stays small, Lionfish, blue tang, and a zebra eel. Where can I find a dealer that sales this shark or its egg? im not really interested in the brown/black banded bamboo shark.

Thanks that would be great. I got this setup just for the gray bamboo shark and I had one site in mind that had them. But they are no longer around. I would feel better getting one from a breeder then a dealer. How often do they lay eggs?
I'm pretty sure my local fish store has one for sale .But I'm in Milwaukee and I don't think they'll ship it.
Can u tell me what the difference is. I'm not into sharks and don't know

Grey are a little smaller than brown banded, and will lose the stripes earlier. The biggest difference is the curve of the dorsal fin. The grey has a convex curve to the back edge - it curves outward. A brown banded has a concave dorsal - it curves inward.
This is what they have for sale

The one just posted is a grey for sure. I think I have a pic of them side by side somewhere. Let me dig it out today. If I can't find it, I'll just take a couple
Edit:
Not the best, but this is the dorsal of a brown banded bamboo. If you look at the back edge, you can see how it curves inwards vs the outward curve of the grey that Burbon just posted.
Brown banded.
Grey in my tank for reference.
