The spines on a discus are sharp and will leave a painful puncture mark. Use some hydrogen peroxide and neosporin, and watch for any signs of infection. These types of injuries rarely cause problems.

Do you mean stingrays? Discus are cichlids from south america and can't sting anyone. Stingrays are disc shaped and can give you a very painful and poisonous sting that requires medical attention. Stingrays have a long spike that can do a lot more damage than a red mark.

discus don't sting.....
if you got pricked by one of the fin rays, it should just be comparable to getting poked by a pin.
