Sulawesi Harlequin Shrimp, Caridina woltereckae

This amazingly colored shrimp is found in just one pond on one island on the entire planet!  The Harlequin Shrimp is endemic to Lake Towuti on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.  Towuti is one of the bodies of water called "Wallace's Dream Ponds" because these ancient lakes are home to thousands of species that are found nowhere else in the world.  Alfred Wallace studied them like Darwin studied the Galapagos.  This precious creature is listed as critically endangered because it is not only found in just one pond, but is also being collected and sold to the aquarium trade.  I created this painting in partnership with Shoal Conservation to help their Wallace's Dream Ponds Project.

Price includes museum-quality framing, UV-blocking glass, and free domestic shipping.  The original painting's image size 16" wide x 8" tall and the framed size is 22" wide x 14" tall.
