Im assuming those frogs are poisonous since OP states he lost his fishes

toads only way to stop is by putting screen over or some sort of fence

How do the frogs hurt the fish?

I would give the frogs a better alternative nearby. Build a small muddy pond and make it frog friendly, in time they will all migrate there.

u could try getting some guppies. i live in florida and we have wild guppies that i catch but the ones from a pet store will work too. they keep all the mosqitoes and frogs out of the pond. they eat all the eggs and tadpoles. they used this technique in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. they put them in peoples pools that were abandoned to keep control of these pest populations.

seem like these frogs coming to the pond not just for laying eggs, they come to eat fish too ! so guppies won't be very effective !

water movement will usually keep them from using the pond to breed. I got toads when my pump was down for a while. after i fixed the pump the toads and the tad poles were gone!

toads are poisonous to fish in case u didnt no. Billfrogs and such arent. Im guessing your geting a toad invasion during there breeding season.
sry no idea for controling them just guesing there toads

try some type of fencing or wall around it

fence or wall
Might as well make it an above ground pond.

How about a net and manually remove them.

I'm with the Nuge, more flow. I have frogs and toads visit, but not spawn. I also have a friend who doesnt like to run his pond all the time and he has mad tadpoles in the spring.
