It won't likely grow very much--baryancistrus don't seem to exhibit much growth in the home aquarium--probably due to nutritional issues.

They need ample vegetable matter.

They need a lot of both, best to feed them smaller amounts frequently, but as COL mentioned probably won't grow much more than an inch if that than it's current size- Baryancistrine growth in aquaria is a good mystery.
Queens are another similar species of Baryancistrus, however GNs are very territorial, and are known to be unhappy to share a space with the another of the same species.

L-18 likes bloodworms, algae wafers, veggies, massivore, they'll eat anything.

The tank gets 2 pieces of cumcomber a day and bloodworm at night so he should be ok at that.
