Is it possible to keep a group of juvies with a pair of adult discus fish in the same tank if there is space enough ?

Thanks a lot merrilyn.. let me try, and with a bit of luck and a pinch of blessings.. nothing is impossible..

Have turned up the temp to 30 already, so should I bring it down to 29 again ?
Yes, this is the first spawn, about 100 or so eggs, maybe 10-15 of them...
