I have a Striped Raphael Catfish in with my Discus community tank and he is fine with them, no problems, as he is a loner and this species of Cat should be the sole one of his species in the tank. He also can deal with the temps up to 86F* (24-30C). Tho they can grow up to 8 inches eventually and they like a nice hiding place, especially under driftwood.
I would do some research on SA Tropical fish and see what you like. Seems that many of the SA fish can tolerate the higher temps that are needed with the Discus.
