I bought some Triploid carp and had delivered to my pond here in Texas on christmas. very cold...

Todd overton had them "slowed down" with clove oil and some other chemical which I forgot. It basically makes them look almost lifeless untill they are put in regular pond water again. They layed on the bottom for 15-30minutes then slowly they started turning up and slowly swimming away. supposedly whatever the clove oil does wheres off pretty fast once they are in regular water again.

Anyways, doesn't have anything to do with your situation, but it was a new experience for us because they looked dead.

It just makes them alot easier to handle, especially with catfish.

If you'd have said 15-30minutes it would have been different. 30 hours is bad.

glad you came out good though.
