Hi,
You have fish in three different tanks with the same symptoms? Are they still eating? How long have these tanks been set up and how long have you had these particular fish? It's definitely possible to have bloat in three separte tanks at the same time but not all that likely.
Before you medicate I'd test the water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph. Try doing a 25% partial water change with a good quality declorinator and see if there's any change in their symptoms. You could also fast them for 24 hours.
Please post back with more information.

To answer your question: will there still be bloat in the 75 if you don't clout it.
More than likely: no. Bloat is thought to be brought on when the naturally occuring intestinal flaggellates suddenly increase in numbers due to the fish coming under some kind of stress. I think if you just do a large partial water change and gravel siphoning in the 75 it should be fine however if you remove all the fish the tank will loose all its nitrifying bacteria and will no longer be cycled.
