I had 4 malas in my grow out tank and all was well, until last week I bought another smaller wolf, which is presumed to be an australis (too small to tell yet). He'said been flaring at some of the other wolves and I also noticed all the malas are on one side of the tank with the lone australis on the other. One mala has an injured eye, which I can only presume was from the australis. Are they usually this aggressive?

They aren't too aggressive. Similar to mamas. But you may need to put some decor/plants in there so they can hide abit. The other option is get a bigger tank.

One will try to bully the other.
 
Agree, create sight barriers, has a blunter head like Australia's and a bit of an under bite, you could've just happened to get a particularly mean one. Nice wolf
