Tank started coughing tonight. It was three small coughs. His temps and diet are great. He stays active. No signs of discharges like mucous. It was just random. Should I worry about a possible r.i.? Please help.

I would keep a close eye on her. If it's a one time or rare thing with no other symptoms I wouldn't worry. If it happens often or other symptoms show up, take her to the vet. It can be a sign of respiratory infection.

Keep an eye on him.  Some dragons tend to eat too fast not fully swallowing, so they sort of choke.  it's not usually a "urgent" issue, unless they aspirate it.
Note also if he's drank anything recently.  Same applies.
If it doesn't reoccur, no worries.

I didn't think of that. Do what ladyknight sayed but also check if he has regurated recantly that what one of mine did when I first got them but then they had been living off morio worms for about 6 months
