Gauging Interest - PB/ Marlboro Red Discus

No pics yet. I still have to go get them. Depending how far you are from NW PA, either Express, Priority Mail, or UPS NDA. Discus babies are too sensitive a fish to try and push it with 2 or 3 day delivery.
Can I keep the discuss with other fish? Also, how low can the temp be kept? I've read they need water temps of 84 - 86. That would be too warm for my other fish.
I'm looking for center piece fish for 130 gal. I do have hard water though.
Thanks

Home bred discus are more adaptable, but I would grow them out in a separate tank. While young they need the high temps. Once over a year old or so 80-82. As far as discus as a center piece fish, they do not do well with less than 5 unless you have an actual spawning pair. The saying goes, if you have 3 discus you will soon only have one lonely discus as they will pick each other off.

What is the price on 10 shipped to 28306. (Fayetteville, NC)?
Do you take paypal?
I would need to recieve them before 10 am, I am not sure what impact that will have on shipping charges.

*Sigh* Don't think the Discus will work out for me. Grow-out tank #1 not a problem (already have that), Grow-out tank #2 wouldn't be looked upon very kindly however.
The cost of the fish, if ordering 10, would be $60 if bought within the first 2 weeks of me having the fish.
I calculated best guess at this point for a 9 lb package (4 bags of fish with 1 qt of water each). I don't think it will be that heavy, but I figured better to go a little heavy on weight while calculating. That way when I actually ship the package, if it is less, it will be a pleasant surprise for you instead of a shock of it costing more than I quoted. Anyway, I checked UPS, Fedex, and USPS. USPS Express is a 2 day trip from me to you and no guarantee what time of day, but is $55. UPS and Fedex both are guaranteed by 10:30 am. UPS NDA is - $75.00, and Fedex is - $79.00.
Yes I take Paypal.
Mind you, this is all contingent on once I have the discus in my possession at the cost the guy quoted me.
I have left him a message that I would like to have the whole spawn as it appears I will have enough interest in them.
If this deal actually goes through, this is the pricing I will be doing.
1-2 fish - $10 ea
3-4 fish - $9 ea
5-6 fish - $8 ea
7-9 fish - $7 ea
10+ fish - $6 ea
