Does anyone know how the motion the male makes before the mating is called? My C. flavopictus males seem to do this, they walk a little, and then make a kind of shaking rapid movement with their body (length wise). I am sure it's part of the mating behavior, just wondering if it has a name (I call it body shock :-D).
edit: In the following movie you can see the male C. gracilis do it just a little in the very beginning (4-5 secs into the movie): http://youtube.com/watch?v=nd3IHiSjJQw
