Thanks the the info. Now that you mention it about being blind...it makes sense. He was just casually cruising beneath the pellets while all others were attacking it. And, when i tossed the cast net out, right at the release point ( throwing it about 5 feet out) there were 30+ eating and i caught only 2 with one being the dark one. Also to note, when we released it, it darted right into a baketball size clump of moss and got stuck - my son reached in and free'd him so he could swim away. It's the 3rd time we've seen it...maybe i can catch it again. With regard to it being a RES, i couldn't see any "red ear" on it at all. I've attached another pic.
others look just fine.
