Provided the tap water parameters are those that are required for keeping Discus there should be no problems. You would of course have to make sure any chlorine or chloramine is neutralised. Parameters for Discus are pH about 5.8 to 6.2 Total hardness about 25ppm but should be <100ppm. Temperature around 82F to 87F (never below 80F). Minimum size tank for Discus (they are shoaling fish and when young need to be in groups of 5 or more) is 48"x 18"x18" with a well cycled power filter to suit tank. Discus need a minimum of 10% water changed daily and at least 50% changed weekly. The tank can be bare for ease of cleaning but some people take the risk and have a substrate and plants.

The environment the plant likes to live in is fulfilled by the tap water. there is a current, oxygen and minerals. therefore, it lives there because it can. simple plants such as a mold don't decide where they want to live and live there because they like it, they live there because it is possible for them to.
