Best soil for container pond/water garden

[Blueberry Acres]

Does this soil look good for a container pond that I'm starting? It has a bad review about it clouding the water up.

@Phaedra, we talked a little about you having a couple container ponds. What soil mixture do you use?

I used garden soil in one of the containers, but just received the aqua soil today. The first one did cloud the water a bit, but I don't care about that too much. I saw different birds are drinking from it, so it works in the way it should, in my opinion.

Update!

The soil worked well. The water is nice and clear, and all the plants are doing well. I might make a thread sometime soon with photos of my container pond
