My CFB has been trying to molt for about a day already and it hasn't completed it yet. I can still see the layer of molt on it. I've placed it in a small bare container to try to get him to eat. I'll place it back into the 30 gallon after I've fattened him up. Will it die if it's unable to molt?

Well, one day of trying to shed its skin isnt that long. I wouldnt worry about that. Sometimes it takes a little while. I would be more concerned with the loss of appitite. That could be more serious. What are your water peremeters, temps, and usual diet? More information will help people help you find out what is going on.
