Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to temperate regions of Europe and Western Asia. They are typically found in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, where they feed on benthic invertebrates and plant matter. Due to their size and schooling nature, they are best suited for large ponds rather than home aquariums.
