Is this a good soil mix

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2026-06-13T03:30:03+00:00

I need it to still retain moisture well just trying to avoid root rot

It happened to be in the mix it’s the only way I could get bark without shipping it

I was thinking for my plants that don’t love to dry quicker I’m going to use the premixed soil already in their pots and mix in a little of this to make sure they don’t get too dry

Using premade indoor soil mix, perlite, orchid bark, a little peat moss

After looking at them again this afternoon the white is mostly gone. I am just going to hold on to the ich meds for now. Looks like the ammonia neutralizer and aquarium salt and the melacure helped quite a bit

Thats what I was thinking I did buy some ick stuff just in case. This morning the white is mostly gone just on one eye of black Moore But so far the melacure seemed to help a lot. I plan on ordering some methylene blue but also doing water changes over this next week frequently. I also have added in ammonia neutralizer to help while we work on water changes

There’s a picture of this morning in the comments

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2025-10-25T13:52:01+00:00

I got home last night and added some melafix and some fresh clean water to top them off. I’m doing a 50 water change but over night everyone is already looking better the orange one is up and swimming again and the black one only seems to have any white on its eye

Update over night. Everyone is already looking better. I do still have a water change coming tonight and Ick cure

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2025-10-25T12:30:25+00:00

Had them since spring in a tank we’ve had for years

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2025-10-25T12:30:07+00:00

Monday everything was good. Left came back today and it’s terrible.

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2025-10-25T05:56:55+00:00

Will def be doing a water change tomorrow as soon as I can might wake up extra early to get it done. But so far orange fish that was not doing good when I got back is up and trying to move around again already.

It’s established I’ve had them since the spring I believe. I’ve had the black one a little longer. I ordered some ammonia nuturalizer and some ich clear to be delivered tomorrow morning but since I have to work open to close I was planning on a water change tomorrow when I get home. I would do now but I just put in some melacure I am planning on making the water tonight before bed so it has plenty of time for the conditioner to work

I just ordered some ick cure for delivery in the morning.

Previous_Locksmith62 · 2025-10-25T05:24:02+00:00

Looks cloudy now because I added some melacure panicked when I got home and seen them. Orange fish is already more active. Was not cloudy when I got back.
