From everything I have read here, the common Mala will eventually need to be kept on its own, while the golds can have tankmates and be kept together. The Common is said to be less active but I have seen them swim around a lot more if the tank is a bit darker. I would have to say the Common wolf is the one one you want if you are going for aggression.
Gold all the way in my book.I had a 4 inch gold chase around a huge silver arowana it was very funny to see.
mala usually more aggressive...aggressive meaning killer not chaser...
but even malas can be extremely placid.

my Mala is an utter monster- tries to attack me through the glass, jumps at me when I’m feeding and I’m getting to the point where I think my 75g is just not big enough for him. Nasty piece of work but awesome fun to watch during feeding time and far from inactive. And to go with that i should have a trio of Gold’s for my 160g SA community (on Channarox advice- thanks!) so as said they are generally more peaceful. However, there are exceptions in most species cases... so we'll have to see how it goes
Kool, i hope its a glass bumper too, i can only upgrade tank when i move to a new apartment/house unfortunately =(mynheers_a_pint;2569555; said:
Def. the mala, there can be exceptions but the mala is more aggressive and more capable of doing damage. And they do move around quite a bit when its no light...they are nocturnal.
