is it good to put live rock in a FW tank?

Not if you want it to stay alive. All the critters and bacteria on saltwater live rock will die in fresh water.

You could try home improvement stores (you know, the big box ones), a garden center, or your local river. Just make sure you scrub them well with hot water before putting them in the tank.

If you have a rock quarry, or landscape supply store, you can also go there. There is one by me where they sell rocks by the ton. They have scales, so they can weigh your truck going in, and going out, to find out how much you took. They laughed at me when I left holding a 5 gallon bucket filled with rocks, and charged me 5.00.

(Although some rocks may not be aquarium safe)

slate is a good type of rock to watch for. it doesnt take up a whole lot of space like others can, and it is easy to make caves with.
