Not sure about the Discus as I don't keep them....I would imagine they'd see shrimp as a tasty snack....
I have bamboo shrimp with small plecs and they're fine...they are quite big shrimp though and they plecs are mostly veggies anyway...

I have 3 shrimps in my tank and they live with Discus & Plecos, I have had the shrimps several months, and they seem happy.
I find that you need some type of floating plants, as my shrimps like to hide at the top.

I also have plecos in the tanks, a very defensive L14 Goldy Plec but again I have had no problems.

If you do have plants at the top for the shrimps I recommend that you be very carefull when water changing as I have once found one of the 3 shrimps on my living room floor, thank god I found it in time.
