when I had a baby cuttlefish, I went to the tidal zone and collected the sand fleas. I move rocks or seaweed and find thousands of little jumping amphipods. I used a shovel and scooped them up with sand and all and put them into buckets. be careful cuz they will crawl out of the buckets so keep the lids tight. when I needed some, I collected them from the sides of the buckets which they will climb up making it easy for you to catch. As soon as they are big enough, I had to switch to mysis but they WILL NOT go after food thats not moving. so a turkey baster to keep them in suspension is needed. It helps to isolate them into a smaller container.
