Nobody really wants to say yes or no here. The answer is not that clear cut. The fact is that triggers are very hardy. They would probably survive in a 75 for a long time if not for life. However it is a small tank for any adult triggers. So whether or not you should house them in that tank becomes more of an ethical judgment call than a survival issue.

Crimzy is insightful as always...I will say I had a Niger and Humu together for 4 years in a 90, compatability was not an issue, the tank size was...They seemed very happy and healthy to me though, the niger is still alive today (I moved cross country and left the tank with a friend), and the Humu lived 6 years.
