Are Discus hard to raise? are they really sensitive to water?, I was planning to get 4 or 5 in the futer with cardinals. A friends of mine told me there hard to raise.

No they're not as long as you keep the water quality good with weekly water change and good filtration. And do not overstock.

and keep their water soft and slightly acidic to neutral

Also keep their tank well covered. They are known to jump out of tanks when startled or irritated.
