Hi Matt...if your referring to the darkish spots from nose towards dorsal fin, its hard to tell if its from a disease. The red wags usually stay in solid colors. I know my some sunburst and twin bar platys have developed marbeling as they got older. What was once a solid color gets some streaking. How is he acting?

Yea those are the spots i noticed. This morning for feeding time he did not come to the top but stayed on the bottom/middle of the tank. he always goes to the top and eats.

Yeah, when my platy's reached the end of their live (about 4) they had the marbled effect. It looks to me that it's just part of his colouring. http://www.jbl.de/onlinehospitaluk/p...=2&GalleryId=2

It's very graphic, but is there anything on there that you think looks the same?

I just looked at my male red wag, he has the same markings so I wouldn't be too worried.
