the ropefish will eat your tetras and any fish small enough to fit in their mouths.

what a load of tosh.
reedfish do not hunt small fish, they will eat any dead thing they come across,
however they literally have to bump into it.

my main concern with the proposed set up would be the temp requirements for
discus v's those of the reedfish.

Really? one of my ropefish ate a healthy small polkadot loach a few days ago, was resting on the bottom and 2mins later its in the ropefish's mouth.

Thats from experience with my own eyes!
