Lizzyduff Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 There's a steady stream of bubbles coming out... WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That's O2 coming out of the damaged leaf. I would cut that leaf off so the plant doesn't waste energy on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwallace Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It's hard to tell from the pic if the leaf is actually damaged. If it is not then I would not trim it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degenerate Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) I have seen this too. I cranked my light up and had a stream of bubbles coming out of the leaf. It was not too long after that I had a bad case of algae. Edited July 18, 2022 by Degenerate gif was playing backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzyduff Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Oh! I just put in a new light... I'll turn that down. Last thing I need is algae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What you're talking about could be pearling. It could be a leaf releasing, Check the tank the next day at the same time, X hours after lights on and see what you see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stream of bubbles is definitely damage of some kind and not pearling. 😞 Maybe I've never seen my plants do it.... Got them to flower, 😂 Anyways, I wanted to mention it just in case anyone who was confused by seeing this in their tank. There is a few threads here on it but I remembered this one and seeing the video and photos and stuff. Pearling, bubbles on the leaves that tend to stick to the leaves surface. Damage+gas release is what we see in the image above. Mmiller was totally spot on! Now I have to figure out why my plants were doing it and damaged so badly... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
