Rams & Apistos are the best choice.

what other Cichlids can live with disscus

Any fish that won't bother the discus, but can live in a ph of 4.0. You'll want to filter the water through peat. I kept mine with Blue rams, cardinal tetras, a golden nugget, and some rummy nose tetras. Very rewarding fish to keep, good luck!

Why would you say "but can live in a ph of 4.0"? This is not needed for discus nor have I ever heard of it being recommended for them. I have, on the other hand, had discus spawn in my 7.4 pH water which is what my cardinals live in as well.

I am happy to be proved wrong, if this is the case.

A lower ph then 6 will cause un stable water stats. I would reconmend no going as low as 4 and to be honest you dont need to.

What does 4.2 do?

Discus are prone to disease and so long as you can ensure that every fish that are kept in the same tank is 100% healthy then most fish would be fine. Some fish carry internal bacteria that doesn't harm themselves but can be dangerous to discus. Very active fish like silver dollars are a no go because discus are slow magestic fish.

A shoal of tetras may look quite nice with discus.

There IS actually a fish species that lives at a pH of 4. I cannot remember what it is right now.. but when I remember I'll post it.
