I wouldn't put the shark with discus or angelfish. They're quite peaceable as juveniles, but it isn't long before they reach maturity, and they've been known to become very mean very quickly at that point. At that point they become particularly intolerant of fish too similar to them. Not sure where bala sharks fall in that regard. Check your other thread, as well, Rabbut gave you some very important information regarding the bala with discus.

If you've already been told on your other thread that your overstocked, why are you asking if you can put a potentially very aggressive fish into your tank that could easily stress Discus to the point of killing them?
