It lives in the drainage basins of the Ceyhan and Seyhan Rivers, in many kinds of streams and also in reservoirs. These waters are in a relatively good ecological shape, and the species is therefore considered to be safe (least concern).[1] The Seyhan population, formerly classified as Capoeta turani was classified as Near Threatened[5] before being synonymised, which happened in the same paper that erected Paracapoeta in 2022.[4]
