'''Gleamin' Breams''', also spelled '''Gleaming Breams''',<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' issue 54, page 48.</ref> are bulky yellow fish from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' They only appear in one level, [[Floodlit Fish]]. Unlike their red lookalikes, named [[Bounty Bass]]es, Gleamin' Breams do not have an item contained within themselves, and cannot be defeated. Gleamin' Breams have a unique ability of being bioluminescent, which means they can produce and emit light.
'''Gleamin' Breams''', also spelled '''Gleaming Breams''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) Volume 54|page=48|date=March 1997}}</ref> are bulky yellow fish appearing only in the [[Floodlit Fish]] level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' They are relatives of [[Bounty Bass]]es, but unlike them, Gleamin' Breams do not have an item stored inside of them, nor can they be defeated. Gleamin' Breams are uniquely bioluminescent, so they can produce and emit light. If [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] stabs a Gleamin' Bream, the Gleamin' Bream gets startled and illuminates the area temporarily, giving the player the ability to see their surroundings and have Enguarde travel further into the level. A photograph of a Gleamin' Bream appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], under the [[Aquatic Attackers]] class.
 
If [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] stabs a Gleamin' Bream with his bill, the Gleamin' Bream gets startled and illuminates the area. After a while, the light fades, so Enguarde must stab the nearest Gleamin' Bream to restore the light. Even though Gleamin' Breams are enemies and are still able to injure the Kongs or Enguarde, they act more like allies because Enguarde is required to hit them to navigate through Floodflit Fish.
 
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Gleamin' Bream appears under the [[Aquatic Attackers]] class.


Gleamin' Breams appear to be the inspiration for a species of bioluminescent fish in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' level, [[Amiss Abyss]]. They are small and encountered in schools. Scattering a school of such fish with a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] move makes them produce light for a short time and illuminate the dark area of the stage.
