The discus will get spooked by the barbels of your perruno as it hunts, even whilst its sitting there with its barbells spread in wait for food to swim close enough. your perruno will jump a bit every time your discus stray to close and this will cause your discus to dart around the tank. They will damage themselves on tank decor and will also be damaged by the perruno when he attempts them as a meal. Its not a great idea, should really be a temporary arrangement.
The cat will appreciate the excessive amounts of frozen food that gets put in for the discus and my B. Jureunse really seems to like the beef heart.
