Newly hatched brine shrimp would be a good first food. Finely ground flakes could work as well if they will eat it. They do sell liquid fry food which is a decent substitute if you cant find anything else.

I recently received a 5 lb bucket of NLS Grow formula, would be happy to send you some for $1/oz + shipping. I also have microworms, can send a culture of those along to start the fry on. By the time they're too big for microworms (supplement with powdered flake, I use a mortar/pestle) they'll be ready for the NLS pellets. I've raised hundreds of BN and Endler's fry on that combo.
