Not enough room for them that way. 2 GSPs may get along.

That could be true. I did have an adult GSP in a 55 gal. once along time ago but that guy or girl was about 6" too.

Balki, the larger one, is very shy and I would be lucky if I could find any one fish that he wouldn't be afraid of. He was afraid of a clam the first time he had one for dinner. I had to show him with the tongs that it wasn't going to attack or shut on him if he took a bite. Pig Pig is so aggressive and fearless, I'm certain he would attack anything. So they will both remain single, they seem to like that just fine so far.
I guess it looks funny to some people, because my friend sees 3 aquariums, the largest with just 2 fish and the other two with 1 each, and says with a furrowed brow, "Can't you just combine them?" Lol

Better handling of 75 gallons. Yes. Many scam to get people to buy things, they think they can escape when, or if its people do not know what they bought, but it seems here launch. I'm glad you already know what they are doing.
