A small change in the water itself helps remove pollutants caused by fish waste and excess food served ... and gives them the needed energy boost to help them mate.

Do some research to see if you should separate the fish from each other for a few days.
Keeping them apart can cause a greater desire for them to breed.

Good luck!
Yep - It would normally be more than 1 degree but Discus are sensitive to temp changes and generally like it on the high side.

I don't think you would need to separate Discus - But it has been a while since I had them so double check.
