    Does anyone have any experience with two triggers in the same tank (120g).

    I came across the opportunity to pick up a "Blue Throat male" and a "Sargassum male". I know they are both considered very peaceful and non-aggressive.

    They are on stand-by and in quarantine at my LFS. I've already bought the Blue Throat (which I'm picking up next week) but I was also looking at the Sargassum and wondering ..... :-/

    For what it's worth they'll be going in the tank at the same time.

    You have no way of knowing initially, unfortunately sssnake! Their is an enormous range of individuality regarding these fish, thus you don't know what the outcome is going to be behaviorally. You may be fine with the two of them, as like you said, they are less aggressive than their cousins. I would make sure that they are fed frequently to reduce the chances of aggression and with a large tank territoriality issues can also be reduced. Go ahead, why not try it...Best of luck
