didn't make it through the night, woke up to two dead peacocks, don't think it was related to him being in the powerhead
checked parameters, 0 0 5 ph 7 so not sure
i'll do a big water change tonight...idk don't think they were really eating well. think i'll break down and get some feeders before i lose the last one....

He could have been sick and then that caused him to get sucked into the powerhead.
