TDS can be made up of several things. Without knowing exactly what makes up yours it is impossible to say 100% but I would suggest using RO water to lower it. Do you know for a fact that it is a true pair? Not 2 female? Maybe a young male that is not making runs? Oh and Ph really does not matter much when it comes to discus.

Do they all turn white quickly or are they transparent after 24 hrs?
