What Fish Is This?

[meltz]

Does anyone know the name of the fish shown in my profile picture?

This fish is currently 8cm in length - apparently, it is related to the arowana and it can growth much longer. I suppose it is an albino since it has a white body and red eyes.

Thanks for your help in advance!
