Cobitis maroccana is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae.
The taxonomy of the Cobitis marrocana is as follows:
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. [3]
It is found only in Morocco and Spain. It is known to be common to the rivers of Loukkos and Sebou, and it is also found in the Atlantic coast of northern Morocco. [4] The climate that it is found in is temperate. It is common to highland and lowland freshwater. [3]
Its natural habitats are rivers and intermittent rivers. [4]
Cobitidae, also known as the True loaches, is a family of Old World freshwater fish. They occur throughout Eurasia and in Morocco, and inhabit riverine ecosystems. Today, most "loaches" are placed in other families. The family includes about 260 described species. New species are being described regularly.
The spined loach is a common freshwater fish in Europe. It is sometimes known as spotted weather loach, not to be confused with the "typical" weather loaches of the genus Misgurnus. This is the type species of the spiny loach genus (Cobitis) and the true loach family (Cobitidae).

Cobitis calderoni is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae. It is found in Portugal and Spain. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cobitis dalmatina is a species of ray-finned fish in the true loach family (Cobitidae). It is endemic to Croatia. This fish was long believed to be part of the widespread Spined Loach.
Cobitis hellenica is a species of ray-finned fish in the true loach family (Cobitidae). It is endemic to Greece.
Cobitis levantina is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae. It is found in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. Its natural habitats are rivers, intermittent rivers, and irrigated land. It is threatened by habitat loss.
