10 gal is way too small for discus.
You can keep a few in a 55g, but you need to keep water parameters absolutely tip top

I say forget both Walmart deals and start checking out Craigslist.com
I just picked up a 90 g with oak stand and unused Fluval 404 for $200.00
With a bigger tank for cheaper cash, you can spend more $$ on better fish and better fish food.

I keep a piranha in my 10. My piranha is only 4" but gets 24"! It's Black Rhombeus. I am setting up another 10 gallon for feeder goldfish and rosy reds.
You will outgrow a 10G in no time!
Save some $$ and buy the largest tank you feel comfortable with. It doesn't have to be huge but anything is better than a 10.
Discus are an advanced fish; learn the basics before keeping them.
