Description

The Common Bream is a large, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. It is characterized by its silvery-bronze scales, small head, and long anal fin. Primarily a bottom feeder, it inhabits slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, and is not typically kept in home aquariums due to its significant size.
