Next time you go for shad, use a portable battery operated bubbler to keep the water oxygenated. Also, I wouldn't put fish from any wild location in a tank with my other fish without first keeping them in a quarantine tank. You never know what diseases they might be bringing home, and that's especially true with shad, which are vulnerable or are carriers of any number of bad things, including worms, bacterial infections, and all kinds and numbers of parasites. One of the worst (and one which can easily be transmitted to humans) is tape worm. I would treat every shad I brought in with a wormer and something to kill parasites and keep them quarantined for at least a month to make sure they don't develop skin lesions from bacterial infections before I put them into another tank either as residents or as food for other animals. It's really that serious.

Careful feeding live fish from a lake. One sick fish and all your others could die.
