保育: Xiphophorus couchianus 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 (EW) 野外灭绝(Extinct in the wild) (2018). The species was lost by habitat loss and degradation caused by urban encroachment, sewage pollution, desiccation of the natural springs and competition and predation from introduced invasive alien species (Ceballos et al., 2016). Ojo de Agua de Apodaca has been transformed into an urban recreational pool and the remaining population there has been lost.
