Has anyone tried inducing spawning in these native killies by playing around
with photoperiod?  Simulating winter's short days would be easier than
chilling them.

I have had some experience with Fundulus sciadiacus a native
of Nebraska. They will spawn only after being winterized for
a period of time. I have not found out how long and at what temperature
but have found they will not spawn after a 6 week period at 60 degrees.
I did spawn some wild caught in May of this year.

How true is this of the more southerly Fundulus, do all of them 
have to go through the cold spell.
