I got to watch some CPD sex from foreplay through completion today (my daughter napped at a convenient time). It was very interesting, especially the end.
The pair (I hadn't seen these two mating before--it's usually a different male and female) were circling and waving at each other for a good 20 minutes or so. Much longer than what I've seen in the past. But the male would never make his move. Finally, my dominant male (MUCH redder fins than my other males), previously uninvolved, swims over and very quickly does the wrap-around with the female! And that was it. He swam off, she swam off, and the poor guy that did all the work swam off. I don't think he even got her number.
Very interesting. Anyone ever see anything like this?

and that's all I think we're allowed to go into that topic.
