What's wrong with these plants.

The picture is out of focus.

Whats the lighting, substrate, co2 if any? tank specs?

Looks like they have algae on the leaves. Nothing wrong with that.

No-CO2 (I want to go this route but I have a bubble wand in the tank and I don't want to get rid of it. So I am assuming adding CO2 would be pointless as long as I keep the wand in the tank, correct?)

yes, you are correct.

Could I ask one more unrelated question...

With the bubble wand in there it obviously produces a lot of bubbles .

I have a lot of very very tiny bubbles that are suspended throughout the entirety of the tank. If I look on the underside of some of my plant I see bubbles along the veins of the leaves of some of my plants (esp. the Hygro Coryambosa). I was wondering is this pearling or is this just bubbles from the bubble wand being circulated throughout the tank and then landing on my plants? Also if it is pearling are the "very very tiny" bubbles in the tank likely from pearling or from the bubblewand?

it's pearling. Plants producing O2. It's sign of photosynthesis..

I think your plants are starving, that's why it's not growing. You need to dose nitrogen, Potassium, phosphate, & other trace elements.

or you can downgrade your tank to a low tech tank. Where you rarely does, no CO2 (or a little) , maybe 1-2 w/g of light for maybe only 8 hours a day.

I would agree it's a lack of nutrition.
You say that for a low tech tank you only want 2wpg and put the light only on for 8 hours a day...well how much time should lights be on in a non-low tech tank per day?
