Clean water that is 86• is a good start as well. I personally wily rather feed live blk worms over guppies. Cleaner and easier to train/ween off and into Frzn bloodworms as well.

What did you get him to eat? My guy would only eat live for the longest time. He was actually one of the harder fish to break, I found.
 
When I bought him, he was just under 2". He would only eat guppies, then rosies when he got bigger. I moved him over to my 120 when he got around 4-5 inches. I recently had to adopt him out because he was getting torn apart by someone in my 120 (maybe the scomb ?!?!??). Anyways, he only broke when I put him in the 120 and he saw everyone else eating shrimp and tilapia.

What you have is definitely a challenge. Caring for a fish that small must be nerve-wracking. I hope the other one makes a come back
