Description
The White Sea Bream (*Diplodus sargus*) is a robust, silvery marine fish characterized by its distinctive vertical dark bands. Found in temperate to subtropical waters, it is an omnivorous species feeding on a variety of invertebrates and algae. Due to its large adult size and schooling nature, it requires a very spacious and well-maintained saltwater aquarium.
