保育: Labeotropheus trewavasae 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). Labeotropheus trewavasae is a common rock-dwelling mbuna and a strict herbivore, normally not interested in worms dangling from hooks. These characteristics make it unlikely to be caught either by net or hook and line.
