Introducing Discus to Community Tank

[beckham0237]

I've been asking around on few forums to see what kind of responses I get, and I've been wondering would be possible to introduce 1 or 2 Discus into a 55 gallon community tank which already includes: 10 black neon tetras, 10 harlequin reasboras, 9 oto cats, and 8 black kuhli loaches?

i cant answer about the reasboras.
But neons are fine. Ottos are alright. I had some but they had to be removed due to sucking on the discus and other fish slime coats. They were annoying them really bad. I have yo yo loaches so i think any kind of loaches are fine.
As for discus. I think they like to be in groups of 4-5 someone will correct me if im wrong.

Cant see any real problems with the compatability of the fish mentioned, just take the normal settling in precautions and they should be OK, and buy good healthy looking fish, no skinny, undernourished, lethargic fish at all 8-)
