The taxonomic treatment published in 2023 describes the habitat of Garra buettikeri as freshwater.
The 2023 treatment gives an elevation of 1470 m for the type locality; this is a value for one locality, not the elevation range of the entire species. A 2024 study describes the species as usually occupying highland drainage systems.

The 2023 review lists Wadis Turabah, Adama, Noval, Shumrukh, Abalah, Noaman, Abha, Buwah, Al-Arj and Al-Bagarah. A 2024 study cautions that the record from the lowland Wadi Al-Bagarah needs verification because of similarity to Garra tibanica; this list therefore does not establish a current exclusive range.
