This is a large killi reaching almost 4", and the males are aggresive so what you have is common behavior. However, I think he would do alright with the sharks.

Saying that he is a golden wonder panchax is also an assumption. Most true killie fish's eggs can survive being dried up in the dry season in the wild. If the fish is a golden wonder then I won't recommend keeping it in a ten gallon as they grow too large.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
