I don't need anymore large tanks(well I do have plans for a 240) the 30 x 30 x 18" tank is the largest configuration I can put atop a rack of 29g tanks that is in the closest of my fish room. I just have to go with a couple more 29g tanks.

yea ur right huh...mise well put those fish ina betta bowl...
tank size and decor have all to do with fish and there behavior i dont know where you've been getting your info from....thats a pretty ignorant comment if you ask me....
but i'll answer your question the 70 gal is to small, and the 75gal isn't to much better. But if you refuse to give them a better home then the 75 is what you should keep them in. Thats like making your dog live in your bathroom, Of corse you could do it, but i't probably isn't the best thing to do yeaaaaaaaa....

They won't fit in a betta bowl and the arowana is currently taking up the goldfish bowl. As for your moronic statement regarding the dog, well I don't have a dog.
Please reply if you have anything intelligent to add.
BTW the comment was towards NATURAL behavior, which you are not going to get in a glass box no matter what you think.i have a schoal of black phantom tetras ina 75 and they zoom back and forth all day and do there little show off bouts. Thats pretty natural to me..
so lets compare size to get about equal to your fish and tank size i'd have to put them in a 2 and a half gal and i'm pretty sure they'ed sit there staring into space being miserable....

Black phantom tetra - 2" and a schooling fish. Thats a fine comparision to a red devil pair that is very terrtorial and 12". Oh and to get the same comparision the RDs would have to be in a 24 foot long 9 foot wide tank. Hardly a glass box, ya think
Have you ever kept a breeding pair of large SA/CA cichlids?

Honestly, all I can say is you gotta try it to find out whether it works or not. Just keep the 75-gal, in case thing doesn't go well with the new tank. I've learned from a very wise member here that you can't give (or take) advice to (or from) anyone, since thing may work in one tank, but may not work in another tank... They're fish, and each of them behave differently!yea 2 big black angels and i put them in a 50 breeder and they did fine, picked on each other once in a while, id say the male was around 8 inches high and the female around 6, still 2 pretty decent sized fish....
and yea 24 by 9 thats a pool, but thats what i'm saying the bigger the tank the better. i'm not saying throw them in a pool but you shouldnt be going lower then the 75
