I know range and general areas where they are found. But does anyone have pictures of Buttikoferi in native, natural habitat? Like underwater pictures? And is there any way to get WC ones? I have never seen anything but CB for sale.

I read that they're from African rivers. I don't have any pics and I'm not sure how valid the source is, but that's what I read.

I think they are pretty much a generalist in terms of habitat. A lot of the area they come from are big muddy rivers. Not exactly a stunning biotope to recreate. I would just Google pics of rivers and lakes in their natural range for inspiration.

You could put a big plastic hippos butt in the tank, you could probably rig it so the pellets come out of its tuckus too. Would be accurate
