IMO Discus are best kept in an only species tank. They need a 55g minimum and do best in groups 5+. They are really hard to keep and I do not recommend them to anyone with little fishkeeping experience as they are one of the harder species to keep.

Discus are VERY sensitive to water condition changes and demand very soft water with little room for anything else. They are best keep in species tanks (like said before) and are difficult to keep.
