“Betta fish are good luck.Fish keep bad eyes away and when they die, it means they took one for the team; like they protected you from something.” That was the text message a friend sent me when I told her I got a betta fish for Christmas. Years before, she also told me that getting a guinea pig would bring good luck. She was right. I love my little critters and give them the best life possible. It’s good karma to make sure the good luck goes both ways.
I got a betta for Christmas

I’ve never heard that about betta fish, but I’ve had a few “take one for the team” over my lifetime. That’s great advice you received from your friend. I am a big believer in karma and good luck going both ways. You always get back the love you give. You and your critters are one very lucky family! 😀❤
Thanks, Kramer! Hopefully my betta fish will stick around a long while.
Aww 😭😭😭 My Aunt told me about this beautiful blog and the first article is about Beta Fish. Mine was my best bud. We played together every day and he died unexpectedly in the cold weather we just had and I’ve been heartbroken. 💔 This article says they’re good luck and when they die, they are taking one for the team and protecting us from something. I needed to hear that so badly. 😭🐟✨ Thank you for this publication. 🙏🏻
You’re so welcome. I’m sorry to hear that you lost your betta fish buddy. The only thing our pets ever do to upset us is die. I’m glad your aunt sent this message and that it brought you comfort in saying goodbye to your betta fish. 💔
