That's a good sized tank for a Royal-which happen to be my all-time favorite Plec 
But the L190 Royal with the red eyes can get to 18" although it would take it several years to get that big. The L191 Royals without the red eyes are called Dull-Eyed Royal or Broken Line Royal. They've got green & black stripes and they're awesome, pretty, super hardy, have funny personalites and only get to 9-10" max after several years. I've got 4 Royals and I've found them to be every bit as hardy as any common I've known. I can't say enough good things about Royals. The one I've had the longest (an L191) will park himself front and center in the Plec tank right at 10:00. That fish knows it's time to eat at 10 PM & is tired of waiting lol. Amazing.

Their L number is L191. Here's mine, they really are cool looking. Big old broad heads. And don't forget-most all the fancy Plecs are wild-caught so put whichever one you get through a couple treatments of PraziPro or something similar while he's in quarrantine.
