My cuttle is still only like the size of my fingernail, but he/she is growing. I am planning to have 3 cuttles in my 55 gallon, the recommendation is a minimum of 30 gallons to house 1 cuttle. If you can use a tall tank that is better they seem to like the water height.
Depending on how much you want cuttles, I would at least try to check out some local streams around you to see if you can find some shrimp. You should keep in mind that after 2-3 weeks you can start to try feeding dead food on a stick. Lastly, you can always order some live mysid shrimp from an online vendor but it is a little pricey, expect to pay ~100$ per week to keep a culture going.
Hope this helps.
