Don't rush and let someone else buy the Royal.

Neither of your tanks would be acceptable for this fish right now.

When you're ready you can probably go to your fish store and have them order you one if they don't have it.

I agree. Royal pleco's aren't unobtainable by any means, so the shop should be able to get one from their supplier(s). If they can't, find another fish-shop that can.

[Yes, I do know that texas is a big state, and the next good shop may not be so "near". But I had a look at the map to see where New Caney is, and it's not a million miles from Houston, so you should be able to get a good shop within reasonable travelling distance if your closest one isn't good enough].

Here's a thread recommending a shop in Houston...
