Default spawning

While on the subject of spawning -
I have a small pond that has only one goldfish in it (as well as a bunch of
mosquito fish). This poor little guy (he is probably 2.5") is frantically
trying to swim up the output hose of my water pump. The reason he is the
only one in the pond is last year he chased the other 2 out of the pond to
their demise. None of my other fish do this. So do I put this guy in the
big pond with the much larger fish and hope they keep him in line, do I add
other fish to the smaller pond or do I just wait for the guy to wear himself
out and hopefully not do too much damage to himself before then?

Or... you could put a couple of bigger fish in with him?
