Ochrona: Tropheops kamtambo jest wpisany prez Międzynarodową Unię Ochrony Przyrody do Czerwonej Księgi Gatunków Zagrożonych IUCN jako (LC) Najmniejszej troski (2020). Tropheops kamtambo nowhere occurs in large numbers and most often only a handful of individuals is encountered during a dive. It is not targeted by fishermen and their gill nets won't be able to trap them inadvertently. The species is rather small and above all very slender and therefore difficult to catch. Also its distribution area is large enough to buffer a possible disaster at one of the reefs (Chimwalani or Luwala) that would wipe out all fish locally. I would regard this species as Least Concern.
