Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout these here “fortune fish,” as they call ’em. Folks say they bring good luck and money, but I ain’t never seen a fish pay the bills, ya know? But, anyways, people keep ’em, so there must be somethin’ to it, I guess.
Goldfish, yeah, them little orange fellas. They’re mighty popular. They say they bring in the dough, make ya successful. Don’t know how a little fish can do all that, but that’s what they say. Put ’em in a bowl, or a fancy tank, whatever tickles yer fancy. Seems like everybody and their brother has a goldfish, so maybe they’re onto somethin’.
- Goldfish: They say it brings wealth and success.
- Betta Fish: Some folks believe these bring happiness and good vibes into the house.
- Arowana Fish: Supposedly a big money maker, attracts abundance.
Now, there’s these betta fish too. Real pretty, with their flowin’ fins. They say they bring happiness, make yer house feel good. Kinda like when ya bake a good pie, ya know? Just makes everything feel warm and fuzzy. I had a betta once, pretty little fella. Didn’t make me rich, but he was nice to look at.
And then there’s this Arowana fish. Big, fancy-lookin’ thing. They say it’s the real money maker. Attracts abundance, they say. Sounds like somethin’ out of a fairy tale, if ya ask me. But rich folks, they seem to like ’em, so maybe there’s somethin’ to it after all. I heard tell they cost a pretty penny too, so ya gotta have money to get the money fish, I reckon. That’s a funny way of doin’ things, ain’t it?
Feng Shui, that’s another thing they talk about with these fish. Sayin’ ya gotta put ’em in the right place, the right number, to get the luck. One fish for new beginnings, three for growin’ stuff, six for help from others. All sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but then again, I ain’t never been one for fancy city ways. I just put my flowers where they look nice, and that seems to work alright.
Some say the carp fish, specially the Chinese ones, are good too. They’re tough, they say. Like they can handle anything. Good for when times are hard, I guess. They got goldfish, and koi fish, and this other one, Arowana, in that carp family. Lots of different kinds, all supposed to do somethin’ different.
Put ’em in an aquarium, they say. A fancy word for a fish tank, if ya ask me. Make it look nice, with plants and rocks and such. Keep it clean, that’s important. A dirty tank ain’t gonna bring ya no luck, that’s for sure. Just like a dirty house don’t make ya feel good. Common sense, really.
So, there ya have it. All I know ’bout these “fortune fish.” Do they work? I don’t know. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. But they’re pretty to look at, and folks seem to like ’em. And if they bring a little happiness into someone’s life, well, that ain’t a bad thing, is it? Maybe I’ll get myself another betta, just for the company. But don’t expect me to go buyin’ no fancy Arowana, I ain’t made of money, ya know?
But hey, if you got some extra cash and wanna give it a try, go for it. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if the fish don’t make ya a millionaire overnight. These things take time, or so they say. Me? I’d rather put my money in a good mattress, ya know? At least I know I’ll get a good night’s sleep, and that’s worth more than all the gold in the world when your back’s achin’.
Just remember, a fish is a fish. Take care of it, feed it, and enjoy lookin’ at it. Maybe it’ll bring ya luck, maybe it won’t. But at least ya got a pretty fish, and that ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at.
