“I have seen Biggs speak several times on a variety of subjects on tropical fish and have found him to be very professional and accurate on the delivery of information. He’s always a wealth of knowledge and an articulate speaker with a great sense of humor!”

Sandy Moore

Chris Biggs is an enthralling and knowledgeable speaker who captivates audiences with his deep understanding and engaging delivery about all facets of fish keeping. With a blend of expertise, humor and passion, Chris has a unique ability to convey intricate details in a relatable manner, leaving listeners feeling inspired and intrigued. His genuine enthusiasm for all facets of nature, (except birds for some strange reason)shines through, creating a memorable and impactful experience for all who attend his talks. Chris has been a long standing guest and resource throughout my career for a variety of pet related topics. I look forward to his visits and seeing what his enthusiasm will bring to the hobby next time.

“When I think keynote speaker, I think of Chris Biggs.
The best aquarium talk I’ve ever encountered was a riveting blend of eloquence, authenticity, and profound insight. From the moment Chris took the stage, there was an undeniable magnetism that held the audience in rapt attention. Each sentence seemed meticulously crafted to convey not just information, but a deep, resonant meaning. All the while, keeping everyone engaged with an undeniable roar of laughter. Leaving Chris’s talk left myself inspired to begin my own speaking career. To which I have never measured up to when comparing it to my first experience with the master of aquarium keynote speaking: Chris Biggs.”

“Everyone has a purpose, Chris is the best BAD example that I know of, but one hell of an awesome speaker and fishkeeper’

Top Shelf speaker!
Chris is a walking encyclopedia of fish & plant knowledge.
He is one of the very, very, few 'social media stars' that can walk my facility and accurately name everything by its described name and even tell where they came from just by looking at them.
He is probably the most professional when it comes to this information and how it is accurately passed to his viewers.
Don't miss your chance to see Chris speak if comes to your area.

New Jersey Aquarium Society President
I heard Chris Biggs speak at Big Fish Deal. After being thoroughly captivated and entertained I reached out to Chris to see if he would be able to speak at the North Jersey Aquarium Society. Recently, Chris came to NJAS where he presented his “Mad Aquarist” talk for the club. Everyone was blown away. Chris did a great job.He is both thoroughly entertaining and considerably knowledgeable. He is unique that he appealed to both new hobbyists and seasoned vets. As the president of NJAS, I can’t recommend Chris and his “Mad Aquarist” talk more.

Tampa Bay Aquarium Society, President
“From the moment Chris Biggs enters the room, his magnetic personality draws the crowd in. His knowledge of aquatics and its industry are incomparable.
I have heard Biggs speak several times throughout the years and he never disappoints. Quite frankly the man could speak on “gravel” and fill a room.
Prior to his arrival, details regarding his presentation were confirmed with great ease. My club thoroughly enjoyed his many presentations and look forward to many more. He is a true friend of the hobby and aquarium clubs worldwide.”

Madison Area Aquatic Hobbyist, Speaker Chair
“Chris was a delight to have speak. His talk on his adventures in the aquarium hobby was both informative and entertaining. He is so knowledgeable on so many topics that are part of aquarium hobby. He is also well versed in flora and fauna in general and always has something interesting to share with the audience. His enthusiasm draws people to him; that combined with his down to earth and accessible personality, made everyone in our club feel comfortable chatting with him. As the speaker chair I spend a lot time with the individuals we bring in and Biggs was a blast to hang out with as well.”

Scott Mclaughlin
(Former) American Cichlid Assoc Speaker Chair
My name is Scott J Mclaughlin and I am the speaker chair for the American Cichlid Association. It gives
me great pleasure to talk about Chris Biggs.
I first saw Chris speak at the Big Fish Deal in 2015 run by the tropical fish club “Capital Cichlids”. It is a large event run yearly that is attended by over a thousand tropical fish fans. Chris did 2 talks. Both of the talks were entertaining and informative- 2 ingredients that are important to any good presentation.
It was after seeing those 2 presentations that I spoke to Chris and asked him to join the ACA speaker program. Part of my job as speaker chair is to find new and exciting talent that will speak at various tropical fish clubs and events to educate and inspire hobbyist young and old. Chris has a talent in being able to engage his audience in a manner where they are entertained while being taught important information that will make them successful hobbyist. This in turn makes the hobby industry successful as a whole. I have since attended various events and tropical fish clubs where Chris has done presentations. His talks are always new and changing constantly.
One component that doesn’t change is Chris ability to fill an event with hobbyist eager to listen to him. I can
personally tell you we booked Chris for our banquet event called the Keystone Clash, which is a local
event in our area. The banquet was sold out this year - the first time this has ever happened in our 6
year history. Chris can draw a crowd like none other. I would certainly recommend Chris to speak at
“ANY” tropical fish event. His knowledge of all tropical fish is vast and impressive.
