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.

She could try and seal the top of the 10 gallon tank with plastic, saran
wrap might work with a lot of tape, hardware store black or transparent
plastic would work great with some tap too. I agree with the consensus that
moving a 1 or 2 inch filled 10 gallon tank would be best as long as the
weight of the water isn't too heavy for the glass. The good news is that it
is either hit or miss, i.e. if the move of the 10 gallon tank is uneventful
you really don't have to worry about the move biting you in rear end
(remember the beavis and butthead episode of the party? One of the wusses
says, "this party kicks rear!" Ha, ha, ha, that was funny) later, so you can
rest easy when it is done, unless on the other hand if you have a problem
while moving such as the glass cracking you have non-ambiguous evidence that
it was a mistake to move it and you would deal with it then and there.
