30g breeding options

If you know how to breed Anabantoids, e.g. effectively arrange the tank, can provide a supply of soft/acidic water, etc, then any species from the 1st 14 genera I just listed here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...iclavius-septemfasciatus.666726/#post-7495612 will do.
If you will also be using the 30g as a grow out tank you will have to do some serious culling starting at ~1 month. Nice thing though is you can leave the male in the 30g throughout the entire process.
A harem of the smallest variable Mbuna species would probably work and you wouldn't have to worry about the fry nearly as much. Africans have always sold better than SA/CA IME. There are plenty of smaller Rift Lake species that can be kept 1 male; 3-5 females if you got the skillz 
PLENTY in the Melanochromis genus that stay under 4"

Those small 5 or 7.5G tanks are really useless for most cichlid fry or any fish other than nano species since water quality can go down hill rather quickly. 10G tanks are usually recommended for initial fry tanks.
Smaller Tanganyika cichlids would be a good fit for a 30B as would Malawi/West African that mature under 4".
