more feeders !!!
 
Yea just buy more feeders and hell at least get a few.
 
Move the smaller one quick,We experienced the same thing and had the larger peacock eat the smaller one.An expensive snack.We have five peacocks now in a 150,all eating like pigs and growing so fast.What happens next,a fish fry?
 
this just happened with my peacocks, and ended with my smallest growing peacock bass getting killed by my largest. Id say take the smaller one out or section off a small part of the tank with just him so he can get most of the food. What happened with mine was my smallest one couldnt get the feeders fast enough, so my other 4 kept getting them and growing, while he would only get a few at a time and not grow as fast so he was picked on/ and recently i found him floating at the top all shredded up, so take him out or section it off immediatly!
 
Rather than just dropping a dollars worth of feeders in thinking that everyone will just eat 3 each, buy 4 dollars worth. That way everyone will get their fill and there will be a few left over for them the next day.
