Conservazione: Labidochromis chisumulae è valutata dalle organizzazioni internazionali di salvaguardia delle specie a rischio come (VU) Vulnerabile (2006). Labidochromis chisumulae has a rather small distribution area but is a rather common sight around Chizumulu Island. It is too small to appear as by-catch in seines and also because it remains very close to the rocky substrate. So there are no indications that this species is threatened or may become so in the foreseeable future.
