That's normal for some varieties of lilies, some have variegated leaves while some don't. Just keep in mind that the ones in the first 3 pictures are not a dwarf variety so expect them to get quite big.

Can't really see it in the pics to good but the leaves are bubbling kinda in 1 spot on the leave

Any body else no there are brown spots on the edges are they getting burnt to much light or not enough frets

Hands down my favourite species of water lily is the red tiger lotus, or any type of tiger lotus.

I use to grow water lily's in my aquariums There is a newly discovered species that does good in the aquarium. I can't remember its name. If I recall it, I will post it. As far as the pictures of the leaves...This is perfectly normal aging of the leaves. water lily leaves only remain for a short time. The leave rot away starting in spots then edges then they all join and you have slim, great stuff!. Some fish eat them but that looks different. When lily's are moved they can get leaf melt then they shoot up knew leaves.
