Conservazione: Xenotaenia resolanae è valutata dalle organizzazioni internazionali di salvaguardia delle specie a rischio come (VU) Vulnerabile (2018). Water pollution from sugar mill discharges, human sewage, and animal wastes had eliminated or reduced several populations by the 1980s, but since then the remaining populations seem to have stabilized (Lyons et al., 2019:144). An additional threat comes from nonnative fish species causing competition for food (Köck, 2019).
