How can I discourage my fish from mating and overpopulating my pond?

Fish
I have a 3 month old pond and have already had two batches of fish fry from my Shubunkin goldfish. The pond is only 1,000 gallons and it was supposed to house my one koi and 4 shubunkins. I noticed about 50 fry swimming around in my little pond. What causes fish to mate so much? I know some people want their fish to mate, but have no luck. I don’t want too many fish to crowd the pond. What causes my fish to “over-mate”?

The best way would to probably just take your fish out and stick to just having all males or all females. Your local pet store/where you bought them should be able to help you with that.

They’re not over-mating they’re just being fish! I suggest a more natural ecosystem will keep things in check. Add something that will feed on the babies like a catfish. Everyone is happy – well, except the babies – they’re dinner.
