Well Water
Lana,
The cups are fine as long as the water does not slosh out of the cups and they do not overheat or freeze. If the cups have lids with a hole in the top even better.
I have not had to move state to state, but county to county several times in the last five years and I started using buckets with holes in the lids. If it was more than a couple hours the cichlids and catfish would get a little oxygen deprived, but then they were also over crowded. I had 35 tanks of fish to move so space was tight. If I had an oxygen tank to use I would have gone the bag route.

As a labyrinth fish, Bettas breathe a portion of their oxygen from the surface. I don’t really have room for a tank in my car, as I am doing a state-to-state move. I’ve heard of people putting their fish in trash bag lined rubbermaid containers with the lids fastened on, so I don’t see what the big deal with my girl’s cups is. My local fish store says the bettas arrive in their cups, which is where I got the idea to transport them in the cups in the first place.
