Crushed coral in freshwater??

My dad has a big bucket of crushed coral (he brought the 150g and it was all in one pack) Should i add those in my aquarium?

Im thinking about adding some loach and pleco in my aquarium

What are the consequences?

It will raise your pH. Unless you have reason to (keeping fish that require high Ph) or have a very low Ph its a bad idea.

A high pH is generally not a good idea because most fish can adapt to the pH conditions found in most cities. Loaches and plecos generally appreciate a lower to neutral pH. So you could add some, but it would be better to not use any. good luck.
