sorry to say but 30 gallons is way to small for either of them not to mention both.

Both fish can get up to a foot long. Average i would say being 10 inches.
They both would need no less than 50 gallons each.

And that's just in terms of bioload. Due to their extremely aggressive nature, you'll probably need a lot more (like 180 for the pair) to provide them each with lots of territory and room to escape. Even that might not be enough, though. Most people can't keep any tankmates with RD's so you might be better off getting 2 50+ gallon tanks and separating them.
