Caridina glaubrechti is species of lacustrine fresh water shrimp endemic to western part of Lake Towuti on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. [3] It is named in honor of German Zoologist Matthias Glaubrecht.
C. glaubrechti is mainly found in shallow regions where it dwells on rocks and hard substrate. [3] It is syntopic with Caridina profundicola, Caridina spinata, Caridina striata, and Caridina woltereckae. [3]
Like many of the shrimp from the lakes of Sulawesi, C. glaubrechti faces a number of threats, including non-native predators, pollution, and the damning of waterways for hydroelectric power. [1]
