Albino Arowanas vs. Silver Arowanas

[TheEelKing]

I just bought a 6-inch albino silver arowana. I have a few questions...

1) Do they grow as large as silver arowanas?
2) Do they develop drop-eye like silver arowanas?
3) Is their aggression level comparable to a silver arowana?
4) What is their growth rate?
5) Are they hardy?

To summarise; they grow exactly similar length and rate as silver arowanas, but they’re just albino.

Basically, what Caveden@ said is that they will have all the pros and cons of keeping an Arowana. I'm not sure if they will be as hardy as "normal" aros, but I think they should be fine. Maybe look up some information on Albino/color morph fish and see what comes with that.
