You never know 100% of the sex of your fish until they spawn. There a few things people look at to kinda help decide what they are but really, until the spawn you don't know.

The best mate for a discus is another discus. ;) There are different genetic make ups in the strains though so depending on what strain(s) you breed will determine your outcome.

There is nothing wrong with keeping adult discus with juvies. Just make sure you are feeding them often and large wc's so that the juvies will grow out good for you. Juvies require more attention then adults.

ps......welcome to Simply Jacob :)
