This species' habitat is healthy. The extent of occurrence and area of occupancy is unknown because of past confusion with H. ansorgii. There is, however, unlikely to be a decline in population.

The Zambezi River is a large river system in a lightly populated rural area with no immediate anthropogenic threats. There are many small tributaries where the species can survive and restock the main river in the unlikely event of a major pollution event. There are no potential alien invasive fish species that could impact on the species habitat.

The species has no protection.
