Dovii's extended fins?

[Stambo6194]

I have a male dovii probably 5-6", he is most likely from the Costa Rica (more yellow) region bc he doesn't have the purple shine from Nicaragua. But my question is why is he not displaying long extended fins by now? How long does it take for it to show? The fins are round and it's strange to me bc usually a fish at that size will have pointy fins starting to come out or they are already extended at that point. Thank you all and if you have pics please post

5-6" still a young fish give it time to get bigger. 10-12" should look more pointed..

His fins should start pointing any time now but won't flow for another couple inches

also what decor do you have in the tank, if fish are ducking in and out of caves such as flower pots i find it shortens the streamers

I've had flower pots in there for a while but currently no pots just a bunch of stones. But would that really affect the fins from getting long/extended??

And can anyone confirm what region the dovii is from based on the pic?
