While some fish are social animals too - ex: school fish who must live in groups, there are also equally many loner fish species. Most of the aggressive fish are loners.
True, dogs started as pack animals living in social groups. However, selective breeding has changed some of the basic characteristics of dogs. For example, the Dobermann is bred to be a personal bodyguard. So it's fine being alone, as long as it's with its owner. Bangkeaws are also not good at living in packs. They are usually raised alone.
