I have been playing Subnautica ever since it was released on steam. I have been eagerly awaiting every update as it comes out. i have also been waiting for the Cutefish Pet to come out as well. It was supposed to go to those that bought Subnautica before the 1.0 Update. Can anyone tell me how and when we will get the pet?

Is the v1.0 update - just the retail release Jan 2017 ?
Yes, it is. Well, February 2017 by the current schedule. And it is unknown yet what you have to accomplish in the game to get it. I await the critter eagerly myself too.
I think that it will just be in your steam inventory and it will "find" you in game.
- find Cutefish
- enjoy Cutefish
- ignore Cutefish
- get annoyed by Cutefish
- PRAWN Cutefish
Alternative to #5:
Find way to make the damn thing useful by holding it like a Seaglide and making it pull you around.
2. Play with cutefish
3. Breed cutefish in Alien Containment
4. ???
5. PROFIT
(Perhaps step 4 is: sell Cutefish babies to Warpers.)
Too complex just fire the cute fish out of the torpedo tubes.
I wouldn't if I were you, I hear those things can get a bit... dangerous.
And to those who question my motives or tastes, it's nothing against the fish pet; I have a strong aversion to what many people find "cute". Take Final Fantasy XI: the Summoner job can get a combat pet called Carbuncle, who is absolutely adorable! But last year, Square-Enix made an in-game novelty hat based on its appearance; everyone who I questioned think it's the cutest thing ever, but I find it hideous.
TL;DR: I don't like the Cuttlefish, I don't want it following me, and will replace its model if I absolutely must.
And to think that the devs want to have sea dragons patrolling the void to keep people out. Just stick that monstrosity there instead!
If the pet comes as a code you wont have to actually use it as on the main menu is a promo code bar.
I think the cutefish is adorable, but I share the sentiment of not wanting to hold hands every second of my life with it. Pets in games are fun when they add something meaningful to the experience, not when they are mandatory. I want cute interactions and maybe some usefulness (the aforementioned ink, transfuser serum), but I also need to be able to tell it to go play with its shadow or something.
I myself found the cutefish's smile somewhat unsettling. I do like the interaction options- the high fives especially! I really do hope we can make use of it though- I would love being able to hang onto it and use it sort of like a seaglide.
According to my first link above from the Trello, they're thinking of adding the Cutefish as a Steam Inventory item that the game will check for and spawn the fish in-game, regardless of game mode or story progression. I really like Subnautica and want to show my support for it; having an early-access gift that other Steam users could see would be fun. I could likely delete the Inventory item to prevent it from spawning, but I don't want to give up the trophy that anyone after 1.0 launch won't ever get.
When I first learned of the Cutefish and its ever-present nature, my first ideas for it were "infinite food" and then "infinite biofuel"... I'm horrible.
Once hatched I could see it being just a little troublesome at times if you wanted to be alone, so maybe they'll have a command to tell it to go wait back at the lifepod/base/etc or "just wait here".
Just make it able to be picked up, and put in Alien Containment, or a small aquarium. Then you can have it as a regular fish pet, not as one following you in the wild.
The resemblance is uncanny.
you would actually want it. it will protect you to the end. and by the end i mean the end of the game as it can never die. ever.
SUPER PET!!
