Description
The Common Bream (Abramis brama) is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. Primarily found in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, it is a bottom-feeder that forms large schools. Due to its significant adult size, it is generally unsuitable for typical home aquariums and is more commonly found in large public aquariums or outdoor ponds.
