yep. the head shaking and plucking at the substrate is typical of many Americans when they're getting horny. the other is clearing an area for spawning. Congrats  O0

Well it seems to be going pretty good so far.The male is becoming more aggressive and the female's tube looks totally different from a couple of days ago.

Just keep an eye on the male if he starts to get really aggressive.  It's been known to happen that a male does serious damage or even kills the female during spawning or after laying.
