A stable pond ecosystem would not contain more consumers than producers.

In a healthy ecosystem, there are typically more producers (like plants and algae) than consumers (like fish and insects) because producers are the primary source of energy through photosynthesis, while consumers rely on producers for food. A higher number of consumers than producers could lead to a collapse of the ecosystem due to a lack of available energy and resources.
