Can someone explain why natural 'birth control' for GSH is a bad thing? This is perfect for me where I'm trying to create forage base but do not want the GSH to overpopulate. I don't have my top predators in the pond yet, and this way my adult GSH which hopefully by now at 6" and larger, have the 'worthless ovaries', and are just growing bigger, but not making more babies.

Then when my apex predator comes in, they can eat the adult (or grandparent age) shiners as they get sluggish, and the current babies can become adults, make more babies for a couple of years and then stop.

I wonder if someone could invent an ovarian parasite for middle age females of the human variety?
