Caridina trifasciata
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Caridina trifasciata faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its limited freshwater stream systems. Urban development and agricultural expansion have altered water quality and flow patterns in its native range. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and domestic waste poses additional risks to this endemic freshwater shrimp species.
Habitat
This freshwater shrimp inhabits clean, well-oxygenated streams and small rivers with rocky substrates and moderate water flow. It typically occurs in shallow areas with abundant vegetation and requires stable water chemistry conditions.
