Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied, silvery freshwater fish native to slow-moving or still waters across Europe and Western Asia. They are schooling fish that primarily feed on invertebrates and plant matter found in the substrate. Due to their significant adult size and schooling nature, they require very large aquariums or ponds.
