Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and parts of Western Asia. It is a bottom-feeding omnivore, primarily consuming benthic invertebrates and plant matter. Due to its significant adult size, it is typically kept in large outdoor ponds rather than indoor aquariums.
