Feed Akihiko
The protagonist can feed Shiroku's pet fish, Akihiko, with various insects. At first, Akihiko will want a Tatsuhime Ladybug, and can be fed one per day. After eating five, Akihiko will grow tired of that bug and want a different one. The order in which he will eat the bugs is as follows:
- Tatsuhime Ladybug
- Yaso Locust
- Meiou Cricket
- Inaba Jewel Beetle
- Daimyo Grasshopper
- Heike Stag Beetle
- Genji Beetle
The first time he is fed a new insect, Akihiko will leave the protagonist a Ryugu Stone. After he has gotten a taste for Genji Beetles, he will no longer want new insects, and will produce a Ryugu Stone for every five Genji Beetles fed to him.
Exchange
The protagonist can exchange jewels for equipment. For weapon stats, see Equipment in Persona 4 Golden. For the weapon models, see the Gallery.
