My juvenile frontosa just drastically changed colour in one days time and is chasing all the other fish in the tank when they’re in close proximity. Is this colour gc hange an indicator of some disease? Please let me know asap so I can do something about it. I’ve attached pics before and after

Could be stress, water conditions, incompatible tank mates but probably not disease.

Tank size and dimensions?
 
its probably stressed, check if anythings attacking IT because if so it probably is put some aquarium salt to reduce stress in case it is

This a grow out 3’x1.5’x1.5’. There are Electric blue Jack Dempseys which are smaller than the fronts and three mollys.

and I would take out the mollies the EBJD is gonna and probably is going after them and will eventually kill them
 
I mean if the frontosa's are being aggressive maybe they fought? that's my only guess the tank looks fine.
 
go to your LFS and get your water checked and see if it is some thing in your tank is off can never be to sure
