how big will the fish be when you put it in your 75?

You might already know this, but Emperor's often develop deformities in captivity (ie: hole in the head/lateral line, truncated physical growth, incomplete color change etc.)
Sadly, it's very common to see these "pre enjoyed" Emperor's for sale at LFS's and nobody wants them.

One of the Pygmy Angelfish (Centropyge spp.) would be much better suited for a 75 gallon aquarium.
