I usually recommend Corydoras sterbai to discus keepers as well as agreeig with the other species nominated in the the other thread.
But is is a case of do as I say not as I do.
I keep and breed Corydoras sterbai at 80F to 76F.
I am a discus breeder and I actually do not use any Corydoras with my discus because I believe the water is just warmer than they do best in. Instead, I use almost exclusively Hypancistrus species and L134. They all eat the same foods as discus and prefer the warmwater better than any Corys. They do an excellent job finding food the discus miss. Bottom line is that I think is that the better combination is these plecos and discus than Corys and discus. I think Corys are just not able to live as long at 86F and tend to decline in health over time at these higher temps. I keep and breed many Corys including those mentioned in the other thread and never maintain them above 80F. Just my expeience and opinion. Few know better than I that there are exceptions to everything.

With the new search tool in the Cat-eLog, you can actually list species of Corydoras (or species of any other genus/family) and select a temperature range that you wish them to be OK with.
For example, if you enter "Callichtyidae" as family, "Corydoras" as genus, and 27-28'C, you get This.
[Note that entering 25-28 gives you fewer fish, because that will "unselect" the ones that are not happy at temperatures below 27'C].
