Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. It typically inhabits slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, feeding on benthic invertebrates and plant matter. While peaceful, its significant adult size and schooling nature make it unsuitable for most home aquariums.
