I use plastic gutter guard from home improvement store. You'll have to trim it make a cone shape and use zip strips to hold it together.

Thanks all. I would give this a try. Btw is it normal if a male discus pairs off with two females? The thing is that he and one of my females spawned just two days ago, I cover the eggs but he eat most of them, now I only have like 10 left and he is pairing off with this other female, but it seems that they want to spawn where he and my other female spawned and she seems beat up and not taking care of her eggs anymore, as the male is not letting anyone get close to the place where he and the other female pairing off, witch is the same place where the eggs are. What can I do?
