Algae eaters that would be most compatible would be either plecos or corys. Alot of people also have clown loaches. As long as you have a comminity tank the fish should be kept busy and not bother each other because plecos tend to be aggresive toward discus. My suggestion would be to get a zebra pleco,gold nugget, or bristle nose. For corys get panda corys, but almost any type is good. I would also recommend a bottom feeding fish that would eat the food that the discus dont get to. German Blue rams would be the best they pretty much mind their business. Another chiclid would be checkerboards.

I have an albino cory, and while it eats the remaining bottom food, it doesn't eat algae.
