Anubias leaves letting out bubbles.

[Blown 346]

One of my Anubias Nana plants is releasing real tiny bubbles from the tip of one leaf. It has been doing this for about 2 hours. Im just curious as to why this is happening.

Can you get a pic? Is it pearling?

 

[DAVIDFBT]

That's how Anubias pearl IME. Those are oxygen bubbles being made so fast that they don't have time to dissolve in the water, meaning your anubias is very happy.

Cant get a pic, the bubbles are so tiny you can barely see them.

Its good to know they are happy.

 

[DrNo]

Congrats... you're witnessing your plants producing oxygen very happily.

Is there a specific reason only one leaf on one plant is doing this? I have three Anubias Nana's on a piec of driftwood. one at the bottom, middle and top. The middle one is the oxygen maker. Could it be that the C02 output is close to it??

Might be a small hole in the leaf; I find damaged plant tissues bubble like this.

it is a stage in photosynthesis. it is a good thing!

Mine will do that after I've given it a pruning.
