Can you put live rock in a freshwater aquariums?

Live rock is not suitable for freshwater aquariums. This type of rock is found in saltwater environments and contains beneficial bacteria and microorganisms adapted to those conditions. In freshwater aquariums, live rock can raise the pH and introduce unwanted saltwater minerals and organisms that may not be compatible with freshwater species. Therefore, it is essential to only use materials explicitly designed for freshwater environments when setting up these tanks.
