Bringing fish indoors for winter

[Kodiak]

Outdoor pond is now at about 40degF, want to bring fish indoors.
How slowly (how many hours or days) should i take to warm them up?
I can keep indoor temp around 64degF. Should i use icecubes in the water
to regulate/bring the temp up slowly to 64degF? How long?

bring them inside in big bucket of that cold water, drop in an airstone, cover the
bucket let it warm up overnight and then move them. dont just drop them from cold
into warm. dont need to use ice cubes. but please do read about cleaning up the
fish when bringing them inside in teh care section of Puregold.
