So I've had a little time to look into this now, it would appear for the anubias at least that hydorphila is not an option and cross pollination is only possible emerged, the plant is both male and female, but a few days apart to prevent self pollination. If you notice more than one bud coming you can raise them out of the water to cross pollinate.

My anubias wont stop flowering. Now this ones been releasing bubbles since Sunday. Is it pearling?

If it is I'll be happy. Itll be the first bit I've had.
