I have two B.Rams who had babies a while back. And they got along great. Now the smaller one has become darker. Many of its scales on its sides are black. It used to just have the vertical stripe over it's eye but now it looks like a completely different fish. So now the other Ram chases the dark one away when they get close. Does it not recognize it as the parent anymore?

Sounds more like a medical problem I suggest you repost this in "Hospital" with photos before and after if posible plus any other changes you have noticed.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Now the bigger one has changed to the darker color and the smaller one is back to normal. Now the smaller one chases the bigger one.
