保育: Tropheus annectens 由国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）在濒危物种红色名录中为自然保育而进行了评估 evaluated (LC) 无危（Least Concern） (2006). Apart perhaps from the shallow rocky reefs near Kalemie (Congo) the habitat of Tropheus annectens is not threatened by siltation or other destructive human activities. The species is not caught by local fishermen as they are too small and too difficult to collect as they live among rocks.
