Description

The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. Known for its bronze coloration and schooling behavior, it primarily feeds on benthic invertebrates and plant matter. Due to its significant adult size, it is more commonly found in large ponds and lakes rather than typical home aquariums.
