Conservación: Chiapaheros grammodes es evaluada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza en la lista roja de especies amenazadas como (VU) Vulnerable (2019). The rivers in area of distribution of Chiapaheros grammodes are to our days in good ecological shape, although the impact of the huge Angostura hydroelectric dam which covers most of the extension of the distribution of C. grammodes on its population have not been evaluated to date. The potential impact of the alleged introduction of lower Grijalva cichlid species into the area of distribution of Chiapaheros grammodes, provided it is true, would also have to be evaluated.
