Can I ad 2 females and one male cockatoo to my Discus tank ?
 
If you are talking about the 3 foot which already has the 5 GBR's, I really wouldn't. The combination of having the two different types of Rams in with the Discus could stress them out.

Our resident Discus guru is off on holiday at the moment. Perhaps you could wait until he returns this weekend and send him a PM with your thoughts.
 
I wouldnt, you already have more fish mass tan I do in my 4 foot 60g tank. also, I dont thin that you will be able to provide enough territory for all of the bottom dwellers. This will stress them and if you wanted to breed them all of the eggs and fry will probably/will be eaten. I say this because when fish like rams and apistograma's(cakatoo's) lay eggs they get territorial and the more they have to defend, the more stressed they get and out of frustration they just eat the eggs.
 
plus the rams and apistos are all botom dwellers, and will fight for the same territory.
