Description
The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied cyprinid fish native to Europe and Western Asia. It typically inhabits slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, feeding on benthic invertebrates and plant matter. Due to its significant size, it is generally not suitable for home aquariums but is a popular species for large ponds or public displays.
