In Mark's words: I still consider myself a hobbyist and almost all of my 84 tanks are community setups with a few exceptions for Tropheus, Apistogramma, Killifish, and some rare fish I'm trying to spawn. The fish photos on my site are my fish in my tanks and taken by me. 

Cichlid Domain is family owned and operated and located in Minto, North Dakota. My wife Sherry, 9-year old daughter Ashley, and I all share a keen interest in keeping fish, and from my very first tank of Guppies years ago (more years than I care to mention) to the 2,500+ gallons of tanks we have today, our enthusiasm still grows. Our phone number is 701-248-3979. Please place calls prior to 10:00 p.m. CST. You can send an email anytime.

Our main focus for a number of years has been on the care and breeding of the African species of cichlids but we also keep Discus and other cichlids native to the America's, Guppies, Catfish, and saltwater species. Recently, we combined our resources with a small group of enthusiasts and acquired the services of independent exporters from Africa. These people have proven their willingness to go further and dive deeper to get us the best specimens possible.

Along with some of the finest wild-caught specimens available, we will also be offering the offspring that our friends and we have been able to raise. If you do not see the species you are looking for on this site, please send me your wish list. One of the other hobbyists in the group may have them or we might be able to get them for you with the next shipment.
