Adjust the Water Hardness
One way to encourage the mating pair to breed is to replicate the environment of their natural habitat.It is known that the hardness of water during spawning period is lower in the wild. As such, aquarists can simulate the water hardness by reducing the GH of the aquarium water to 3 - 10 odH to help induce spawning.
Water can be softened by filtering water through peat, treating tap water with ion exchange resins or adding reverse osmosis water while doing water changes.

Change the diet
Altering the diet of the breeding pair is also a brilliant way to increase the chance of spawning.From experience, feeding live food such brine shrimp, white worms and/ or frozen bloodworms to the breeding pair can help condition them to spawn eggs.
Live food such as brine shrimp and white worms can be cultured at home or simply bought in local aquarium store.

Get A Breeding Aquarium
Yes, preparing a separate breeding tank for the courting discus is another method to create the suitable environment needed for the pair to spawn.For instance, it may take longer to tweak the temperature slightly, soften the water or do water changes in a community tank which is usually larger.
Furthermore, a separate tank makes the breeding environment more conducive as other fish cannot interrupt the pair or worse overpower them and eat their eggs.
Things you need for a breeding aquarium setup include: sponge/box filter, heater, fluorescent lamp, breeding cone/flower pot.
