Hoy nos juntamos personas desconocidas a intercambiar plantas, tomar café y comer pan..... Y echar chisme

Hello, new to this subreddit, I have this (I think phyllostachys aurea) I bought, I make bonsai and I want to do some experiments like a small bamboo forest, wire some, and some stuff like that.

I divide a clump and put it in separated pots.

I got a couple questions,

This species is a good one to make this? If not what one would be more suitable?

Can I prune it to keep it small without leaving scars and make the side shoots grow more dense?

I hope somebody could help me.

Thanks from mexico.
