Conservation: Lamprologus tigripictilis is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (VU) vulnerable (2010). Moelants (2021) mentions that key component of concrete is found in the Luozi region, and there is potential to mining in the area. Inga 1 and 2 are existing dams on the Congo River with a minimal impact. Inga 3, to be built in five years, will divert a significant amount of flow. Grand Inga will block a great part of the mainstream with major impact. The species is known from fewer than five locations.
