Cory? Generally, probably too hot
Cpo? Too Hot
Rubber lip pleco? Or any pleco* No plecos. They'll want to eat the discus' slime coats
Sae? Should be fine. Quick google search suggests that there energy level might be off-putting to the discus, but that varies by fish
Neon tetras? Probably end up as food for them
Gbr? Fine in theory, but there might be issues with cichlid-cichlid aggression. I've known people to keep both together though.

tmfish said:I have 4 panda cory's with my Discus. They do just fine.
I have a columbian zebra pleco and a gold nugget pleco with my Discus. They are fine.
I have 15 Cardinal tetras with them. They do fine.
That's my experience.
jetajockey said:I've kept BN plecos with my discus without any issue, they aren't aggressive at all to other fish. Also, corydoras sterbai along with a few other species are okay for warmer water tanks, there was a list somewhere but I can't recall where it is.
As far as schooling fish go, I've never had an issue keeping a few different danio and tetra species with them. The biggest issue I've run into is aggression from angelfish that have been with them.
Definitely no on the CPO or dwarf shrimp, unless you want to risk a high chance of them being eaten, plus the temperature is going to be a bit high.
