Conservación: Notropis grandis es evaluada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza en la lista roja de especies amenazadas como (EN) En peligro (2019). The introduction of the exotic carp species Cyprinus carpio and Ctenopharyngodon idella and their parasite Bothriocephalus acheilognathi seems to have had a negative impact on Notropis grandis. Indeed, the repercussions of introducing carp species and their parasites on native fish species and their habitats in Mexico have been well documented (from Domínguez Domínguez et al., 2009:167).
