Photographing adult zebrafish?

I'm intending take photographs of adult zebrafish in order to
record various aspects of their colour pattern and body shape,
including shape and markings of the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. This
needs to be done with as little harm as possible to the fish as I'll
also be needing them for breeding and behavioural experiments. I will
be using an SLR camera which has through-lens light metering and
automatic/manual shutter speed. Does anyone have any advice? For
example, what is the best anaesthetic to use, how can I position my
fish, what lighting setup and film type give the best results, and so
on. I'd particularly like to know how they took those great pictures
on the from of the zebrafish issue of Development!
Any help at all would be great.
Thanks, Vicky.
