They were used to be called retropinnis but are now officially called polypterus mokelembembe. Here's what they look like. They might be harder to find locally though.

Get something around the same size as what you have now give or take a couple of inches at the most.

My albino is my favorite though. If you get a Pamas try to go albino, the normal ones are a little too plain, and an albino will always add flare to the tank.

fyi, from what you said your albino should be an albino senegalus. they are sometimes mislabeled as albino palmas in fish stores (local or online). and i notice pics on the internet are mislabeled in the same way.
