Description

The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. It is an omnivorous bottom feeder, typically found in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds. Due to its significant adult size, it is primarily kept in large outdoor ponds rather than indoor aquariums.
