Answer
Hi Eva;

I'm afraid he may never eat until there is a larger tank for them. Goldfish need lots of room because they get big and are messy. Now that there are two, it's even worse. Your older one may have been used to it, but it can't be a permanent home. Toxins are building up in there from fish waste and there will be a serious lack of oxygen. Here is a good web page on the needs of goldfish, and why;

I hope you can get them a bigger tank and they feel better soon....
