Common dace Profile

The Common dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) is a small to medium-sized freshwater fish known for its silver-colored body with a bluish or greenish back, and a white belly. It's native to Europe and parts of Asia, inhabiting rivers, streams, and sometimes lakes. The Common dace has a slender, elongated body and is recognized for its adaptability to different water conditions. While not the most prominent species in the aquarium hobby due to its active nature and size, which can reach up to 40 cm in length, it is occasionally kept by enthusiasts who appreciate native and temperate fish species.
