Right now my big thing is figuring out how much will the cuttles eat roughly. My order is a minimum of 500 at a time, so figuring out for a handful of cuttles is that like week, month, way way way too much etc.
Consider 500 Mysid shrimp per week for a small group, as they will eat 4-5 twice a day each, depending on their size. My first group of cuttles is 1.5 months old and are taking live cherry shrimp as a treat every couple days as well.

Cuttles are eating machines, probably if I had enough Mysids mine would eat 4 times a day
