I think you have a ALBINO SPOTTED HOPLO CATFISH (MEGALECHIS THORACATA).
Some quick facts regarding this species.
They can grow up to about 6inch (15cm) which is large and would require a decent size tank, nothing smaller then a 50-60 litre tank. They are peaceful and nocturnal so don't get worried if you don't see it much during the day (when lights are on).

Disclaimer: I could be completely wrong in identifying this fish but I compared the picture to ones I found and I personally think they look very similar.
