Feds Accuse Seattle Pet Store of Trafficking in Rare Fish
A Seattle pet store accused of selling a rare Asian fish illegally imported into the U.S. now faces federal charges following an undercover investigation.

In doing so, he is alleged to have violated an international treaty restricting the sale of species of animals threatened with extinction.
