I currently have 2 discus( 4 more in quarentine), 8 glowlights and 4 neon tetras and an oto. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a pair of livebearers(guppys or platys) so that the discus can feed on the fry from time to time. Is this possible? Will the livebearers be able to live in 28oC water?

I'm not sure they'd be able to handle those kinds of temps honestly.

Ok, I was just checking out the possibility, havent done anything yet.

Yes livebearers can survive that temperature, my friend did exactly what you wanting to do, he kept 10 guppies (3m, 7fm) in 86F for about 5 months before moving them. I'm not sure if his discus were eating the fries but they sure had a taste of the juiciness of the parents, a few got their tails bitten and stuffs, but I think a guppy is too big for a discus to eat whole.
But overall, sure they can survive, but they won't thrive and the high temp will shorten their lifespan, that's what I've read anyway.

Ok, thanks Fish newbie!!
