Caridina dennerli is a small species of freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi (Indonesia) that grows up to 2.5 centimetres (1.0 in) in length. It takes its name from the German company Dennerle, which supported the expedition that led to the scientific description of the species. It is popularly known as the 'cardinal shrimp' in the aquarium trade.

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. It resembles the smaller and less contrastingly coloured Caridina spongicola, which is endemic to the same lake.
Caridina striata is a freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi. It is endemic to Lake Poso and Lake Towuti. Common names in the aquarium hobby are red line shrimp and red stripe shrimp. It is commonly found on rocky substrates.
Caridina ensifera is a freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi. It is one of the 11 species of Caridina endemic to Lake Poso. It lives on a variety of substrates, including wood, rocks, sand and macrophytes, but is also found in pelagic swarms. It is suspected to only live in shallow water.
Caridina caerulea is a freshwater shrimp from Sulawesi. It is one of 11 species in the genus Caridina that is endemic to Lake Poso. It lives on a variety of substrates, including wood, rocks, sand and macrophytes. It is suspected only to live in shallow water.

Caridina yilong is a species of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae. C. yilong was described from Lake Yilong in Yunnan, China, and was believed to be endemic to the margins of the lake among fringing vegetation. Only the type series has ever been collected, and the type locality of Lake Yilong has since dried up for extended periods of time due to the abstraction of water. Organic pollution caused by sedimentation along with agricultural and industrial pollution have caused this species to be assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, with the caveat possibly extinct. In addition, two species of fish, Anabarilius macrolepis and Cyprinus yilongensis, that also were endemic to the lake are now extinct.
Caridina apodosis is a species of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae endemic to a mountain stream near the village of Tai Tong, China. Caridina apodosis is known from only the type series, collected in 1994. The exact type locality is unknown, and may be completely overtaken by urban sprawl. Caridina apodosis is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN under criterion B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii) with the caveat 'possibly extinct'. C. apodosis is threatened by extensive water pollution as a result of urbanization, and the type locality may be unsuitable for inhabitance.
