what temp do discuse need to be kept at because bettas can be kept from 27- 30c
28-30 is actually a good temp for a bettaOh and uhh Discus secrete a slime from their bodies that kills Bettas almost instantly... Nope. Not compatible... Sorry

30C!? Surely that would be too hot for a Betta... Besides the OP can keep his Discus tank at 32C then no problem...

and a recent paper published by heiko bleiher shows that discus actually live in temperature ranges of about 24-29 in most places in the wild.

Link?
Even if it is true, domesticated Discus vary quite a bit from wild Discus. If they have been kept in 30C water their whole life then a sudden change to 24 would not be good. Normally their fine for a short period but their metabolism would slow (maybe not necessarily a bad thing) but they would get stressed and end up sick. I have seen it before.
Yeah I was suprised to see the actual temps they're at in the wild, next time I get some discus I think I'll try it out lower.
