i just added 3 discus (3 inches) to my 4 blood parrot fish tank ( 4 inches) last week. I slowly raised the tank temperure to 83F. My blood parrots bullied my discus the first couple days. Now, everyone is getting along. My discus even swim in group with my blood parrot...it was a planted tank..but i setup it again...now it is BB with 3 pieces of Malaysian driftwood....i siphon the tank everyday and do 25% water change every other day.

I have been keeping blood parrots and other tropical fish for three years. I am new to King of the Aquarium...Please give me some advice...

My discus are "3 inches"....are they still babies or adults?

At three inches hopefully they are juveniles. You can tell by the eye size in proportion to the body. If not kept in the right conditions discus will stop eating and fail to grow.
