Flag fish fry should be able to take baby brine shrimp at about a week, but I imagine the best be may be something like liquifry, or APR (artificial plankton rotifer) if you have access to it. If you have algae in the tank they will probably pick at that as well. Often times the best bet for tiny fry is a "dirty" tank. I don't mean a lack of water changes, but leaving some of the gunk in the bottom of the tank. A lot of tiny critters live in that stuff.
Good luck!

Take a lettuce leaf, crush it up in your hand.
Place it somewhere indoors where it would get direct sunlight, in a bowl.
Top off the bowl with water drained off an aquarium.
In 24 hours, you should have green water, which is a good first food for small fry.

I use this method with tetras, barbs and rams.
