Some people report keeping Plecostomus sp. with Discus quite successfully. Others have kept them in community tanks with variable amounts of success. My opinion has always been that, since Discus are a schooling (shoaling) fish that need special water conditions, heaps of room and daily fresh water changes and in order to avoid fighting and bullying they need to be kept in groups of at least 5. The only fish I would put in with Discus are more Discus. The minimum sized tank in which to rear a group of 5 to 7 Discus is a 6 foot x 2 foot x 2foot.
no, discus are very slow moving fish zebras are one of the most active fishes. The zebras would stress the discus so much, they might die. If you want pretty fish that are also small, get cardinal or rummynose tetras.
no

what any discus eats.
NO! Discus are very fragile fish- very sensitive Goldfish are messy plus, goldfish like temps in the 60's and discus like them in the 80's i can think of millions of other reasons do discus a favor and never keep them
what fish feed their own young Both the male and the female Discus fish (Symphysodon discus) produce a nourishing slime on their sides/flanks for their fry to devour.
Discus are not any more difficult to keep than other tropical fish. Proper tank maintenance is required, discus can be shy and somewhat picky eaters if you are feeding them different food than what they are use to. A clean tank is a must when keeping discus, weekly partial water changes are recommended. A high water temperature is required, around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind, the cost of a discus fish is much more than other tropical fish. Keeping discus fish are not recommended for those who have never had an aquarium setup.
I wouldn't. One discus could outgrow your tank space and discus' are recommended to be in a group of five.
