I'll be at the RFA presentation by Colin Foord at MACNA on Sunday (9/1/19 at 10am). I believe the presentation is oriented toward reproduction which is also my primary interest. But I'm making a list of general RFA questions that I hope he will answer in the presentation. And if he doesn't, I'll try to ask as many as I can in the Q&A after the presentation.
So do you have any questions you'd like me to ask? If you do, post them here and I'll try to ask them and post answers here on Monday.
Here is the list I have so far:
Do RFA spawn or reproduce on a cosmic or seasonal schedule?
If not, how often can they reproduce in a year?
Do they exhibit any identifying traits before they spawn or give birth?
Is there a specific time of day they spawn or deliver young?
How many young will they produce on average?
Is there any way to tell male from female?
Is it true that shallow water RFA are ‘plain’ and deep water RFA are colorful?
If true, are shallow and deep water RFA the same species?
Is it true that shallow water RFA do photosynthesis better than deep water RFA?
Can deep water RFA change zooxanthellae and do photosynthesis better in a high light environment?
How long does it take a new born RFA to reach sexual maturity?
What is the range of the RFA?
Can RFA survive on photosynthesis alone?
If not, is ‘normal’ fish feeding enough for them or should they be spot fed? How often?
