Like V lioness said, these 3 (blue throat, crosshatch, sargassum) are by far the more passive. Then niger and pink tail. Nigers are great though and still very good company for a fish only tank with large tank mates. What were you planning on adding and what tank size did you have in mind? This makes a big difference on whether the trigger will become hostile.

Yep, lei trigger is another good one that I haven't seen much in the trade. No sense in arguing with that surfin poster. He's like 10 and just regurgitates dribble.

It's becuase of this that unexperienced hobbyist posts can cause trouble for a new hobbyist. New people assume he knows what he's talking when he answers with such certainty and that is dangerous for them. You didn't ask an opinion, you asked specifically which one is more docile. I've got a niger and have seen it fully shred another fish in the matter of an hour or so and there was nothing I could do about it. If you just want opinions then people can get on here and say, "The titan trigger is the most docile." New hobbyists would not know the difference, so unless another board member called me out, the new member would have to rely on this bad advice.
Of course you'll be treated differently because of your age and experience. That's life. Would you sooner trust the information of an adult with numerous fish tanks or a preteen who still wants his first?
Like I said, Niger triggers are great fish but not the most docile trigger.
Yimmy, you should ditch the regal angel idea. They are expert only fish. What kind of eel did you have in mind?

Just have to say this:
It does not matter what age people are on this board, please treat everyone with respect, and it goes both ways.
People are entitled to their opinion at any age.
If someone is inexperienced, then the majority of other posts will demonstrate that and the original poster can see it. If there are few other posts, then the detail of the answer will probably win the argument, without having to belittle other members of the board.

Sure, in a perfect world.
I will, however attempt to curb my enthusiasm when dealing with the children.
