I think a school of harlequin rasboras would look nice.  I've kept them with discus successfully.

Re: 140 Discus Chronicles

So I picked up some fish a few new corys for the Discus tank. And I also picked up some rams and o-cats for my planted tank. I dropped the bad in the water and went to the grocery store. I came home and went to the planted tank and my fish in the tank are all gasping for air and the fish in the bag are gasping for air. I turn on the air pump and hurry and pull the fish out of the bags and put them into the tank since I figured there was a lot of movement now that I turned on the air pump. Eventually the normal inhabitants have pretty much gotten back to normal but the new rams and o-cats werent looking good dont know how all this happened in both tank and bag. I come down stairs and drop my corys in and them seem to be fine no problems. I come around to the back of the tank to make sure they are doing fine.

And I find.............

Re: 140 Discus Chronicles

So the eggs made the other mishap better. I just checked and the others are doing better but it is still hit or miss whether they will survive. So everyone pray for them.

Re: 140 Discus Chronicles

That is amazing what you have accomplished with this 140 .....by the way, Spike (the torn up JD) he is so big now and has some really nice colors.....his finage is still a mess...his tail never did fill in, but he looks great....he's more than holding his own in that 150 with large oscars and a breeding pair of large adult bumblebee cichlids...

Re: 140 Discus Chronicles

Even Dan and ADG both who could be considered experts in the field recommend plastic plants for discus tanks.
