Just move them no problem. As long as the other tank is cycled 5 degrees is no issue at all. I have a biger temp swing when I do water changes.
 
What I would suggest is to put them into a bucket with the original tank water, and then add a cup or so of the new tank water to the bucket every few minutes. This will slowly bring the water in the bucket up to the temp in the newer tank, so they can be acclimated to it without the extra shock. It might not be 100% necessary, but this is always how I do it when moving fish from one tank to another.
