Hi wurm, cool pick up. I don't really keep up with the aquarium strains of bristlenose, but it's likely a cross of some sort... many of them are. Anyway, as far as keeping it will probably max out about 6" and just need feeding mainly veg maybe with some bloodworms or something every now and again. Just treat it like other "common" Ancistrus. Is that how it looks settled... quite cool if it is.

Actually, it usually has a much darker background and orange blotches instead of the yellowish color. The flash isn't very forgiving.

Even more contrast then = even better
