This is what I have bought 1 male and 2 female like you said:

My question is is that this:

I just wanna make sure it's peacful community one. I know you said it is but I am worried.
 
i have a pair of the ones you bought ( Misajé gold)and a few of the others (australe) and the pair like yours attacks the australe...i have them now in different tanks.
 
I take it you mean that you have, or are about to purchase a pair/trio of Aphyosemion australe.
IMHO you are better to keep them apart if possible. They may live peacefully but the females will play a big part.
Although the two species will cross breed ( so the males will be in direct conflict over spawning rites)It is doubtful that the eggs of such crossings would be fertile but I'm not sure. Jørgen J Scheel did a lot of work on crossings and catalogued them in his first book "Rivulins of the Old World"...I'll look it up and see what the results were.
But to get back to your question. I would either provide separate accommodation for each species in question or just stick with the one.
Regards
C
 
No I am not buying them. Just wanted to know if mine were peaceful like that. They are arriving today and I'm very nervous about how they will get on with my other fish.
