Conservation: exLamprologus multifasciatus est évalué par l'Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature dans la Liste Rouge des espèces menacées comme étant (LC) Peu menacée (2006). Apart from erosion which brings sediment in the lake covering up the various shell beds, exLamprologus multifasciatus is not threatened in its existence. Shell-beds are common in the southern part of the lake and exLamprologus multifasciatus is found there in dense populations.
