$5-$10 at your local lfs. not illegal. I would not recommend a male dovii for a 220g, as dovii cichlids reach 2 feet in length and would have a hard time just turning around in such a tank. If you were willing to get a larger tank in a couple years, though...

managuense, trimac, festae cichlids are all on par with dovii, except they could live in your 220g for life no problem.
 
I agree with you with everything you said except for managuense being on par with dovii,festae and trimacs. Most of the time a managuense would be killed any of those fish in a community setting.

Thats the thing about midas and devils. All they need is some space and they are calm. Small tanks do not provide enogh space so they are hyper aggresive. But put them in a tank with enough space and they are almost shy. Dovii on the other hand base there territory on the space avaliable. They will be just as aggresive in a 125 as in 265. Thats why they are held in higher regard that midas and devils on the aggresion scale.

I have heard that about red devils too.
Thats why when my 8" devil was looking cramped I put him in a 200 gallon
figureing that at least now I could do a couple of tankmates.
NOPE! He still destroys anything that hits the water.
Water changes are also a blood drawing experience as well.
I always get out the band aids first.
later
