betta fries is more likely to eat moving/live food...
for first week, you will need live food like daphina, bbs or micro worm.
alternatively, throw some tubifex in, they will nimble on it...

That's sad to hear bro, maybe your water condition is the factor? For me I use boon from day 1 and is going fine for me.
