## Resource

This episode exposes one of the most dangerous myths in guppy keeping: that you need perfect water parameters to keep guppies alive. Discover why constant tweaking of pH, hardness, and temperature quietly kills guppies, and learn what these colourful livebearers actually need: stable, mineral-rich water and a calm, consistent routine. Art breaks down practical guppy care, soft-water strategies, and more. Whether you’re losing guppies in a new setup or your fancy strains just don’t last, this exploration of guppy water parameters, hard water livebearers, and stable aquarium maintenance will help you turn things around.
