Community tanks are certainly nice for many reasons, but there's also a lot to be said for the convenience of having only one fish in a tank (less worries over QT, for one).
Help me make a list of fish that would be perfectly happy in a specimen-only tank. Here's some I've come up with so far:

bettas (obvious choice)
African butterfly fish (Pantodon buchholzi)
 
Most large cichilds are fine being kept solo.
 
neon tetra
:D haha jk

idk if arrowanas are solitary but i usually only see one to a tank when fully grown. maybe just due to their size idk. just taking a stab in the dark :)
