The game is still bugged. Most of the time people dont get credit for an achievement they have fulfilled all requirements for until long after the fact. It's happening to a lot of people for a lot of different achievements in the game. All I can say is give it time

What's a "cutefish"?
Also, paragraphs would help.

Me giving you a detailed description of what a cutefish is isn't really the point of this guide. You can look up the cutefish specie on the subnautica wiki if you need help there; I am only here to help people get the achievements. Just know that it's the only specie of fish in game that has to be hatched from an egg, there are 4 of those eggs in the world, and where each of them are is listed above.

For what its worth, this fish is no longer called the Cutefish, but rather the Cuddlefish, that may be where the confusion is from and the guide should probably be updated with the correct name

I released my cuddlefish into the final alien base area with the sea dragon. he swam around all happy and content, not a single eff was given that day about the massive leviathan next to him.

Thank you for such a fantastic guide. I am however still having tremendous difficulty getting this achievement to unlock. I have three saves, one I have used console commands on so it's evident that save won't count for achievements. However my other two saves have cutefish in the containment, I took them from the containment and dropped them outside in the open water. Played with them, set them free told them to stop following and follow me and still no achievement. The only thing I can try is to restart again I guess, I was just wondering if anybody else had this issue as well and figured it out, I have even tried to drop the cutefish in the safe shallows thinking maybe that would work but alas nothing so far.

In addition to NerdsLastStand’s guide, this achievement will unlock when you “play” with your cuddlefish. There will be a brief, sweet animation where you high-5 your new buddy when you interact with it.

If you have encounter the bug preventing you from interacting with it whilst inside the Alien Containment module (the aquarium in your base), the following helped me:

Simply pick up the fish into your inventory, go outside your base into the main waters and drop the fish from your inventory. It should now let you interact and play with it (though note it won’t let you pick it up again, so if you want to keep it in your base, have a save before doing this)

The easiest way to find an egg is to go to the Degasi Habitat in the Grand Reef. It is in the multi-purpose room that is at the bottom, in the middle of the floor. Hatch the egg in an alien containment and release into the wild to get the achievement.
