discus are a relativly easy fish to keep, just like all fush they have
their pros and cons.
their really adaptable fish as to food, water flow and stuff, but their
real sticklers when it comes to water chemistry.
just do alot of research and invest in some good test kits, (sounds like
you already have)
as for a good scavanger, replace the pleco with some bristle nose
catfish, their much small and less predatory.
i suffer a problem with a 12" pleco (they actually become carnivores as
they mature, it aids in their growth apparently) trying to eat a pair of
5 " severums, luckily one is a wild caught fish so is mean as hell and
can fight the catfish off pretty easily.
good luck, and dont worry about te discus, they arnt as flimsy as
their made out to be (especially the less colourful versions such as
the browns)
