Breeding can be done in any size tank. Those sizes are called breeders simply because they are more frequently used by breeders than by your average home aquarist.

well duh. doesn't take a genius to figure that one.
breeders are tanks commonly used for breeding because of the less common footprints and these footprints have been known to be very successful for breeding fish. 50 gals are ussally 4'x12", while breeders are 3'x18". i have found in breeding large cichlids. 11"-14" that is all the tank size you need. i found this from breeding them in large tanks- 240ish. and looked at there overall lterritory and area they used for spawning and raiseing fry. the adult won't wonder very far, but fry will go anywhere once they are around 2 weeks old.
i know tanks come in any size just about but i was talking about common breeders that normally manufactored
i've seen 30, 40, 50, 60 all in "breeder" sizes. basically these tanks are wider and not as tall as their counterparts.
well as far as i know the only thing that makes a breeder tank a breeder tank is the 18" width. so by definition a 75 gallon would be a breeder tank too
