Really looking into the possibillty of purchasing my last pair / single fish and ive been looking at some discus fish, From my research I know they are quite Territorial during spawning but I have no intention of breeding, they are quite peaceful fish :/ from what I've researched they would mix well with my Gourami's / Barbs but not so sure about the rest, my community is as follows;

2 Dwarf Gourami's, 1 Albino Shark, 3 Silver Bala Sharks, 3 Clown Loaches, 4 Albino Tiger Barbs, & 1 Whiptail Catfish

Forgot to mention tank size 181litre cubed aquarium
 
Think your tank is a bit small for discus. It's also way too small for the sharks and the loaches btw, they need massive tanks.

Discus aren't suitable for your setup unfortunately.

Unless you are breeding, they should be kept in groups of 6+.
The temps they need 28-30*C will be too warm for the other fish.
Andthe barbs will possibly nip trhem.

I also think that your tank is too small for your current stock as it is.
Clown Loaches and Bala Sharks get to about 30cm and the sharks are very active, so you need a 6ft tank for those.
