has anyone had experience moving fish and fish tanks from city water over to well water. we have to move about 10 miles from our appartment to a house. we will be moving buttikoferi, kenyis and some other assorted cichlids. i know to do the common tests to the water, and i will try to save as much of the water and trasfer what i can. is there anything i should look out for? thanks!

No personal experiences, just use the common methods people do when ordering fish online, slow acclimation.
I remember on another thread where someone had problems with well water since it sits for long periods of time so its oxygen depleated (I know I butchered that word) so they suggested putting water in a tub or trash can and adding an air pump a day prior then you could use that water for the WC. Not sure if this is with all well water but something to look out for if your fish start gasping for air.
I agree just use your common knowledge of transfering fish and you should be good. I use well water and one good thing about mine is I add it straight from the tap no conditioner or anything.
