My first telescope!!!

hi i just bought my first ever telescope!! I have wanted one my whole life and i did so much research using this website and many others to finally make a decision. I bought a Skywatcher 12" Dobsonian collapsable for $1200.

The night i got it i took it outside and had a look at jupiter!!! It was awesome but i have a question. Why does it look so small in every eyepiece i put into my telescope. I have 6mm,10mm,and 25mm eyepieces. Will i need a 2x Barlow lens to make jupiter look bigger? The picture was great i could see a colour and i could see jupiters moons.

BTW great website!!!
