保育: Pelvicachromis drachenfelsi 未被国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）在濒危物种红色名录中为自然保育进行评估. As far as I could see over a period of nearly 20 years, the habitat seems to be stable, but regarding to the fact that the species had been found on just two localities it is to assume that total population size is not very big, so aquarium conservation seem to be useful.
