Description
The Carp Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to temperate regions of Europe and Western Asia. It is characterized by its silvery, laterally compressed body and is a popular species for coarse fishing. While primarily a pond or large lake inhabitant, it can be kept in very large, specialized aquariums.
