Caridina profundicola is species of fresh water shrimp endemic to Lake Towuti on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. [2]
C. profundicola is found in deep (roughly three meters or deeper) parts of lake Towuti, where it lives between submerged bolders and is often found with Caridina spinata . [2]
Like many of the shrimp from the lakes of Sulawesi, C. profundicola faces a number of threats, including non-native predators, pollution, and the damning of waterways for hydroelectric power. [1]
