Yeah, You're going to either need a bigger tank or a different choice of fish. You have to be careful what you show to people on this site because they care more about a fish's well being than how cool or pretty it is. Crazy, I know!
They pics are cool, but you might want to ask around about getting a more suitable home for them.

Nice pics, you may have stunted their growth in such a small tank, if you've had them for 2 years they should be bigger than they are.

Those pictures were when I first got them, had them in the 38-gallon for close to a year. Here they are now in a 55-gallon. Their new home will be either a 90-gallon each or both in a 180-gallon

My two triggers were very small when I got them. I believe our triggers are very close in size. My plan was to up grade to a 125-gallon aquarium, not sure that will work. I believe two 75-gallon or 90-gallon aquariums might be a better choice. I am sure they will start having issues and not get along in a 125-gallon.
Your 75-gallon sounds really cool love to see some pictures.

Most fish that are not their adult size will be ok in smaller tanks, keeping them short term isn't success because they are so young and small. I'd say success it keeping them at their adult stage and size for over a year or two.
With that said, most people say they will up grade their tanks and never do. Because of many, many different reason. This is why you should always start with the tank they are going to stay in. And never upgrage because of a fish, but because you want a bigger tank.

New fish room, a new 125-gallon aquarium for my 2 Niger triggerfish.
