If your going to move a tank with a few inches of water , remember that
the "slop" of the water will be the length of the tank. and this can be
quite rapid, and sudden. You would be better to add a few barriers in the
tank to break up the serface area.
As for the fry, get a few Plastic Soft drink bottles, and pour the Fry into
them, your going to loose a few, but it's easer then hitting the end of a
tank, when you go round a corner.
Years ago, I knew this man who sold Guppies on the markets, Everything
went into Plastic bottles, 4 to a bottle, 4 inches of water, and people just
bought the bottles. He never lost any fish.

Yay! I got my own apartment! Nice place, 2 bedroom, 2 bath. Fireplace.
Spacious kitchen. Just one problem. My fish! Any ideas on the best way
to move them? All bettas, 7 one gallon containers (mini tanks). But
then there is the added problem of my betta fry. Not all of them are
big enough to jar yet... and my best idea on moving them is to wait as
long as I can, drain the 5gal tank until only a few inches are left,
and put plastic wrap on the top. Move it like that, and hook it back up
in my new apartment immediately. Or I could do that first, because it is
kinda in my way to get other stuff that I need.
The adults will be easier, because I can bag them, and they won't
suffer too much from the experience. Hmm, maybe get my 10gal to the
apartment, set that up, and float the bags in it to maintain warmth?
Forget apples, let's go Bobbing For Bettas! LOL!

PLEASE HELP!!!!
