In a tank that small, not much. They are very agressive and territorial. I had banded pygmy sunfish in the past but they and the flagfish were juvenilles at the time, so everyone was very small. Perhaps swamp darters, bluefin killies, or least killie?
Are swamp darters the metallic green ones? If they are, my LFS gets them in with the ghost shrimp on a weekly basis.

Probably so... swamp darters are rather common 'hitchhickers' with feeder shrimp (at least at my LFS)... and they do have a sort of metallic green color.

I was going to say swamp darters also. I have had bluefin killifish do alright with smaller flagfish, but they can get a bit of an attitude once they mature.
Thanks for the help. The LFS said I could have the darters (there's only 2) next time I come in. I may add a few ghost shrimp as well.
I do like bluefin killies, but I think I'll keep them seperate from the flags when I get some.
