I hate when folks say nope tank size is fine. pretty much means why ask advice, you going to do as you will. that being said re home the Dovii tank to small and pickup the RD, even if you do not pick up the RD re home the dovii. full grown well kept dovii 20 to 24" for a male. no way you can tell me a 120g a big enough tank.
Dovii or red devil

A single male in a 120...poor fish. I'd say a 220 is a minimum for a male dovii. With the limited space i'd agree with everyone else and pass on the red devil.
A Dovii in a 75 is abuse. That's a terrible story. How would he turn?
Few fish CAN hang w/ a Dovii, but Amphilophus are one of them IF you have a big enough tank.....150g is minimum for a Dovii, that 6 feet in length and the smallest 6 foot tank that still gives 24" for him to turn around. Just because they reach 24" doesn not mean a Dovii is done growing, however. If he is not housed properly he will jump out of his tank to attack you and anyone or anything that walks by him. Do NOT underestimate the Big Bad Wolf.
not for long.....
Your 120 is barely big enough for a solo red devil,putting a dovii in there is plain cruel.
I really wish Dovii weren't as easy to get for people.
Are you even serious? So you're suggesting a 24" fish can be comfortable in a tank that's 18" wide?

6 inch dovii in a 75.. your good for a year to a year and a half.. then you need to get rid of the tank or the Dovii....
