Is it safe?

[Lauren]

i have a 24 gallon fishtank, 2 neon tetras, and 2 painted tetras (i dont support dying but i never knew) ok now i have had my fishtank for a month and i was talkin to a friend of my parents, he has worked with fish for his whole life and he sudgested that i got some real plants from a local lake and he said i could also take some neon tetras that are in those waters to. now im not sure about this. i really want the plants but im not sure if it is safe and i want the tetras but i dont want them to harm my fish.

so is it safe to use fish from a local lake and the plants from the local lake.....plz help
