Not anesthesize. Euthanize. It's a well known way to kill a fish :-(
There's a product called Hypno that's been used for decades with shipping fish.
Here's a link to an article about it from the legendary Delores Schehr:
http://articles.gpasi.org/tranquilizer.html
I've received shipments of fish (cichlids usually) that have been 'hypno'd' It
does indeed work like the article says, though IMHO, one fish per bag, starve
them, clean water + poly filter in each bag, and you don't need it. You need
hypno when you're crowding them.
YMMV.
