IMHO I think you should start planning on a bigger tank now. Those fish get big and mean, and they like their space. But you jumped into the cichlid world feet first. Get ready to roll.
iv officialy entered the cichlid world

i never said i wasnt gonna get a bigger tank eventually. i got a 180 n 75 with alot of room. trust me theres enough room for them for a whilee
Jags dont thrash around. Its just the specific fish. Cichlids can be very calm, yet the same species (different fish) can reak havoc. This doesnt apply to all fish, but in general Jags are mildy aggressive.
The texas looks like a regular one. I've never seen a mature Blue Texas, but Im sure he'll get his colours around 4-5".

ya good point, certain fish have differant personalities iv heard that many times so that also helps
I love cichlids 
welcome to this world haha... I currently have a breeding pair of jds amazing fish... Also no matter how you look at it those fish will claim territories, thats when chichlid aggression is its worst.. A flower horn or jagg will prolly lay claim to the 75 to itself, you will with no doubt have casualties no matter how you do it. Personally a very underated cichlid is Salvinis, i have a young pair now and in the past I had a pair kill a 14 inch midas there ruthless ****ers...

i do have an interest in those, i havent seen them around here at any LFS's though
You could do the jag and tex in the 75G whilst the bigger and stereo-typically meaner fish should go in the 180. But it's all up to you anyway as only the Dovii cant fit in the 75G.
