No problem, there is plenty of room in the tank. If i were you I would put an aditional place for them to hide because the other fish have already claimed their territory and will fight to protect it.. How big are they? If they are approx the same size as the others they will be ok.

Giraffe Cichlids

You actually have an incompatible mix. Giraffe cichlids (otherwise known as nimbochromis venustus http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a259/y2kenny19/African%20Cichlids2/nv.jpg ) are african cichlids and are best kept with other african haps instead of with the texas cichlid.
With that said, the 75gal will be a more suitable tank than the 30gal (and in all actuality an even bigger tank is recommended as these particular fast growing cichlids reach nearly a foot in length and are active swimmers). Expect aggression if you happen to have two male giraffe cichlids in the same tank.

They may be fine, but it really depends on the individual temperaments of the fish. Try rearranging the larger tank completely immediately before putting in the new fish.
