I went to the petshop and saw some albino senegals and noticed they had pink patches by their gills. What are they used for? Does it disappear when they enter adulthood?
 
those are thier diminished external gills, they should eventualy dissapate, mine onrate's did at around 6 inches.
 
i think you mean the pink area on the gill plate. just pink because of their being albino. totally normal, just coloring.
 
Yup what you are seeing is the gills As Street cypher poinnts outs due to the albinoism its easier to see thru the gillcovers.Kinda like shinnig a flashlight thru your fingers -Anne
