Great idea. You can really go fishing for one. And I've never seen wild ones on wholesalers list's but you can get some great colour strains with F1's. Why not try a Jag? Or do you solely want a single Dovii? If the depth of your tank is 18". Move him out when he is 12". Then a tank with a depth of 2.5 Ft would be suitable. A footprint of 7x2.5 Ft will suffice IMO. If not longer.

yeah i was thinking around 12 or a little bit i was thinking of upgrading to a 250 or something around there

well i cant go fishing for one but ive heard of certain places and sellers getting wild fish in rapps sometimes has them if not ill look for a really nice coloring on an f1 and jags are beautiful fish i used to want one but i have my heart set on this dovii
 
just wait till you have the bigger tank
 
A dovii will be fine in a 135 for at least 8 months if not longer. I say go for it as soon as you find one worth having. They tend to shoot up in size for the first 6 months or so then slow down drastically after that.
