Freshwater frogs?

It is interesting to see frogs this big. And it is not an AFRICAN Clawed Frog, they are named Albino Clawed Frogs. I say interesting because it isn't a albino color morph yet very much bigger than the other frog.
Also pictus catfishes are very cool, saw some at the aquarium that were close to a foot long!

You may want to check your souces on that. The OP has African Clawed Frogs, they have skin and eye coloration, and lack the tell tale milky white skin and pale or red eyes that an Albino morph would have. And look utterly similar to this picture.
There are in fact Albino Clawed Frogs, which are an albino morph of African Clawed Frogs, but have white skin and red eyes. As in picture below.
Both are commonly abbreviated ACF, although you may see AACF for the Albino African Clawed Frog.
Pictus cat's are neat, the think I find more interesting about them than the catfish it self is how much the care sheets at stores vary. Some list 4 inch max, other list 12" max, that's a big big difference, but if you've seen in foot long I'll definitely steer my brother far far away from them for his tank.

The only ones that are called albino clawed frogs are the albino ones. ACFs, whether gray or albino, are generally Xenopus laevis, although X. tropicalis are sometimes available (usually called tropical frogs or something like that though, but look very similar and could be mislabeled as ACFs).
I have seen a couple pictus in the 7-8" range, so they can get some size on them
