Hikari First Bites works good for the first week or so easy to get.
Once a week old, you can start them on baby brine shrimp. You can buy the eggs on Amazon. Just need some canning salt, a 1 litre jug, and an airline. A pipette makes it easier. Its a pain but they grow faster on the baby brine shrimp.
However you could stick with the First Bites until you can crumble up some bug bites or flakes for them.

With First Bites, dip the tip of a toothpick in water, dip into the powder, then dunk it in the fry's tank... it'll sink instead of float.

Eggs hatch in 3-5 days depending on the species.

Id opt to bring each one with you.

For aeration, you can buy a battery operated air pump. Bring batteries with you. Just keep it running while on the trip.

They will not last a week without food, unlike adults.

Thank you so much NC. Ok, the only thing I'm left worrying about then is the temperature.. in not going to be able to maintain that too good

Not cold cold. I couldn’t put a temp to it as I’ve always been in a pub at night so everythings a bit vague. Sorry. Check the bbc weather site?

Lets hope they enjoy camping

You know you're a fish person when you jump through hoops to take fish eggs camping with you

Peppered cories can handle a little on the cooler side, but can't hurt to have some of those 24 hour heat packs to keep nearby at least for night time in case temps drop too much

 

[CassCats]

a list of stuff:

A jug or two of spare tank water
Battery operated air pump
Pack of batteries for the pump
Enough 24 heat packs for each night spent
A thermometer
Hikari First Bites
Toothpick (to feed with)
Tweezers (to pick out fungused eggs)
A blanket or small towel (make a tent over a box to make a makeshift incubator)
A box that fits the container with space around it to move the heat pack closer or father away to maintain temperature stability)




For first 3 days until they absorb their yolk sac, you won't need to feed them.
