Feeding just every 12 hours is wrong. Find out from the breeder when he was separated from his mother. If he was competing against 12 other pups then I can see why he would be fighting for food. I can see how if he was separated from his mom too young he could have missed out on some good lessons from his mom when it comes to eating. My moms are allowed access to their pups as long as they want and some will let pups nurse until they are well over 8 weeks old. Is he looking less bloated since you are doing smaller, more frequent meals? We would love to see pictures of the little fella. How much does he weigh? Also, I know Fromm is a good food but he might like it too much. What flavor are you feeding him? Are all your dogs on Fromm?
