Caridina profundicola is species of fresh water shrimp endemic to Lake Towuti on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.[2]
Habitat and ecology
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]
