That's ok, they are Xenopus laevis then (there are no albino dwarf clawed frogs).
They'll grow big, females almost the size of your palm, males a bit smaller - you won't be able to sex them yet though if they're still small. They also won't be mating yet!

Here is a good caresheet for them - www.pollywog.co.uk African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis) Care Sheet

They're great frogs, don't put them with fish as they'll eat them once the frogs get bigger.

dont think yours will be having babies yet if their still small. frogs lay spawn dont they which turn into tadpoles before frogs so i wouldnt worry about waking up one morning to hundreds of babies.

I doubt you can even tell the sexes yet - they're usually about full grown before they show noticeable differances. For how you described them, they're far to small for you to even know what sex they are.

When/if they do breed (in about a year, as long as you do have a pair) they will lay frogspawn which hatches into filter feeding tadpoles.
