    My plant doesn't have any bubbles of oxygen like what i saw at the LFS and some of the photos posted by fellow forummer. Is it because there is not enough light? or CO2?

    combination of both i say. depends on your number of livestock and quality of water also.

    Best if you can post your tank spec and let see what might be the cause.

    My tank spec is as follow:
    4 ft tank
    2 55W FL
    CO2 2-3 BPS
    fishes are mainly cadinal tetras
    around 50 plus yamato shrimps
    assorted plants from leafy one to moss type (still trying to identify the names)

    You do not have enough light but once you increase light you need to increase CO2 as well.

    I use 2x55W for 2ft tank

    Do not be obsessed with bubbling! As long as your plants are growing, it is fine!

    More lights, you will need more fertilizers, more water change to 'reset'. And more changes of getting algae if things get our of control.

    Amount of plants in the tank also matter. You can't expect it to bubble if it's the only lone plant in the tank.
