I've seen them with Discus in photos and videos, but maybe its pushing the boundaries a bit too far.
Here's an example:

Had anyone considered black emperor tetras, not black neons.
WoW, Discus will eat cardnial tetras? I didn't know that. People who like to show their tanks usually have these tetras schooling in the tank with Discus. Good to know.
What happens if you introduce small discus in with Cardinals and Neons?
I had very good luck doing it this way...for a while. Everyone got along great, the discus never bothered the tetras at all. Then one day the discus spawning began and I learned two things very quickly. First, tetras love to eat wrigglers and new free swimmers and are quite the threat to them. Second, discus parents can take GREAT offense to their babies being eaten by tetras and will go to great lengths to eliminate threats to them. The only tetras that survived were the couple that hid under driftwood that I caught before the parents did.

I've tried lots of things with my discus. What I find is that discus eat up emperor tetras much more readily than cardinals, possibly because cardinals swim faster. Eventually though, they'll eat up all the cardinals. Rummy nose tetras seem to do well in my discus tanks, although I've never had large swarms of them.
I notice that discus will also eat the pygmy cories, C. hasteus and C. pygmeus. They don't last in my discus tank.
