Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia, known for its silvery scales and high-backed profile. Primarily a bottom feeder, it sifts through substrate for invertebrates and plant matter. While often found in ponds and large lakes, it can be kept in very large, specialized aquariums.
