“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.
