CRAZY AMAZON SWORD

[thedon986]

I walked into my room where my tank is and I noticed that from the driect middle of my sword plant a very steady stream of tiny, TINY bubbles floting to the surface then popping. It has been doing this for the last five minutes. Does ANYBODY know what is going on? I've neither seen nor heard of anything like this before.

It is called streaming. This is noticeable when the water column is saturated with O2 and the plant is discharging O2 bubbles. Quite normal.

and preferable...take it as a sign you are doing a good job.

yep that measn your plant is happy. or it means that a stem was broke or damaged. this casue the oxygen to spill out of the damaged area.

yeah my plants do it before they "pearl" or when I break off a stem when pruning
