Default Bubbles

I would say the streams of bubbles may be from tiny nicks in the plant where
internal gas is escaping. Now the globules as you call them under the
leaves may well be legitimate respirated O2. Anubias are not known for real
pearling since they are slow growers. True pearling usually comes from
fast-growing plants in high-light, CO2 enriched environments. I think your
instict serves you well on the "yet to be perfect". I am very familiar with
that concept.

Hi,

In my 2gal tank, i noticed something very strange. I noticed a constant
stream of bubbles rising from the roots of my anubias baterii and another
constant stream from the tips of the leaf of my anubias nana. And the
underside of my baterii has some globules of air stuck on it. Is this what
they call pearling? If it is, I heard that pearling only exist when the
condition of the tank is perfect. But mine is yet to be perfect, fish is
dying, some plants growing sideways and fern is turning brownish.

Everything
is going somewhat wrong except for these anubias.
