Hello Folks, I have a question. Is it ok to keep various sizes (or ages) discus in one aquarium ?? or it will disturb the smaller discus growth ?

thanks

It can be done, but you need to watch closely and make sure the little ones are getting enough to eat. Sometimes the larger fish are too aggressive at feeding time and won't allow the babies enough food. If this happens consistantly then the babies run the risk of being stunted.

but the adult fishes won't hurt or bite the youngsters, dont they?

Generally the adults ignore the youngsters - except to chase them away from food
