urgh i saw the discus like eating the tail away!!!!if like that must go change to cichlid tank only.South american style
discus are cichlids and they are meat eaters.
are the tetras small?
I am guessing they discus see the neons as food..you can try larger ones(tetras) but once they start to exhibit this behavior it may be too late.
I kept black neons(not truely a neon) with my discus with no problems..the tetras were very calm in the tank with the discus.
recently moved angels in there and the tetras are a lot more nervous. but the angels don'r bother them much..

well the discus was a 5cm baby.And after i gave them some freeze dried tubifex worms they stop their habits of disturbing my 4cm neon tetras(pure neons!!!!!Not black neons!!!)Oh yah i kept some black widow tetras with the neons and the discus plus a few baby angels and adult cories.
Grow ur neons out a bit in a seperate tank if u can then add them they should b fine. I keep cardinal tetras with my discus and they do great.[same size as neons]
