Caridina woltereckae, or Sulawesi harlequin shrimp as it is commonly known in the aquarium hobby, is a freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is endemic to Lake Towuti.[1] It resembles the smaller and less contrastingly coloured Caridina spongicola, which is endemic to the same lake.[3]

Threats

It is found on rocky substrate. It is currently under threat by introduced species like the flowerhorn cichlid, pollution by the human activities and nickel mining and uncontrolled harvesting for the aquarium trade.[1]

gollark: The tower is an HP ProLiant ML110 G7. Or something like that.

gollark: Of which?

gollark: They run at 5% CPU at most most of the time and probably use 70W or so between them.

gollark: I use an old HP tower server of some kind and my repurposed ryzen-based desktop.

gollark: 2950s or older are probably just too loud and power-hungry to bother with.
