Okay, I have moved all my fishies. With the adults, I lowered the water to 2-3 inches and they moved well. Just hold the container in the air a little so it wouldn't have every bump. Keeping it up a bit helps the suspension and not slosh the water around. The stop and go was no problem, just the curb and a speed bump.

I wish I had been able to get the fry suggestion earlier. Pouring them into a smaller container would have been better. I have major casualties. Sigh.... My poor babies never even had a chance to flare at me.... It seems as if all the bigger ones are okay, but the smaller ones suffered bad. I tried to count last night, and kept coming up with between 18-24.

I will also be putting more info on the betta fry topic.
