Biology
Cobitis marrocana is now recorded to be least concern. It now has a competitor species called Lepomis spp. The competition has created a decline in the population of Cobitis marrocana. Another negative influence that could affect the population as well is the effect of pollution on the habitat of Cobitis marrocana.[1]

The average size of an unsexed male is about 8 centimeters.[2]
