Leuciscus leuciscus
Dace, Common dace
Leuciscus leuciscus is a sturdy, adaptable species of freshwater fish, often found in flowing waters such as rivers and streams. It's a popular choice for cold-water aquarists due to its active nature and ease of care. They prefer shoaling in groups and enjoy a varied diet of plant matter, detritus, and small invertebrates.
Distribution
The Common dace is native to Europe and parts of Asia. Its range extends across much of Europe, from the United Kingdom in the west to Russia in the east, and from Scandinavia in the north to the northern parts of the Mediterranean and Black Sea drainages.
