保育: Apistogramma piaroa 被評鑑為國際自然保育聯盟瀕危物種紅皮書名單中的 (LC) 無危 (2020). The main threat to Apistogramma piaroa is found in the southern Orinoco-Ventuari delta, due to illegal mining that takes place in Yacapana National Park. For the rest of the distribution, there are no specific plausible threats, and the distribution also overlaps with some areas of environmental management and national parks (Mesa Salazar, 2022).
