For our one-acre pond, we stock about 5,000 fingerlings, and feed costs nearly ₹1.5 lakh per cycle. The potential income can be around ₹3 lakh, but this "obvious" math never shows the real cost—the hours of our *mahila samiti* guarding the pond from birds, or the money we first spent on lime and fertilizer. Our actual joy last cycle was not the final sale, but feeding the fish together while discussing our children's school fees. After all, a pond's true yield is measured in shared work, isn't it?
