Hey guys one of my discus has a very faint red patch on its body. is their a good website with pictures to help me diagnose if it is a problem im not sure how to post pictures in this thread either so if someone could fill me in someone on here might be able to help
 
Can you post a picture? Is the tank cycled? What are the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate readings? What size tank and tank mates? How often do you change water? All of those things should be answered first to rule out or pinpoint a water quality issue.
 
to post pic click the go advanced button
scroll down till you see manage attachments
click it ( make sure you allow pop ups as screen is a pop up)
then click choose file
pick picture (or several pictures)
then click up load ( beware of there size some not allowed)
then post comment and there you go picture posted so someone can help
**edit i posted apic of one of my endlers so you can see these directions work
