Re: "starter fish"

Inexpensive fish are usually the most hardy.

If you are planning on keeping the 'cycle' fish, you should
select some which will get along with the discus.

While zebra danios are very inexpensive, they would not
make good tankmates for discus because they move too
fast which will stress them and they will get all the food.

Guppies are relatively cheap and hardy, but they prefer
salty and cool water, thus they are not going to be happy
with the conditions which the discus want.

Maybe some ghost shrimps?  Or a male betta which you
can then remove later and keep in a vase?
