September 1, 2009 (MOSCOW) -- Thousands of tropical fish reportedly have died at a Russian airport after being held in customs for 15 hours in the summer heat.
The state RIA Novosti news agency says more that 4,000 fish worth $480,000 died in the Black Sea resort of Sochi after customs officials spent 15 hours clearing the cargo Saturday. The fish had been shipped from China and made a brief stop in India.

I got a sale on this weekend! None have any documents, but tell me what documents you like, and they will all have some.

Have about 25 fish. Will throw in two free aquariums!
