They can be kept with discus at smaller sizes. They are about if you know where to look but as for prices your looking well over $1000 for a juvenile.

I believe Ben means Borneo suckers (Gastromyzon sp.).
I would advice you to stay away from those fish, especially in a discus tank. They've got very poor survival track record in tanks and they especially don't like the high temperatures of discus tanks, coming from very fast flowing cool rapids.
