pearling or something else?

[plantnoob]

ive always known pearling to be when the leaves of plants have little oxygen bubbles all over them , but is it the same thing when plants realease big streams of bubbles ? my anubias nana does have what i know as "normal" pearling on a few leaves , but the newly forming leaf is literally going like a co2 diffuser ! its letting out a single bubble pretty much every second , and every now and then a huge stream of them , like in the attatched pic . is this releasing oxygen , or is it unhappy ?

When it happens on mine it's usually because I've accidentally caught it with the scissors when trimming and caused a small "wound". It then seems to leak out Oxygen from that part for a while.
Hope this helps🙂
