Cobitis sipahilerae is distinguished from all other species of Bicanestrinia Cobitis by the absence of 5th Gambetta zone, third zone similar to the first zone but with smaller spots, fourth zone consisting triangular or square-like blotches, in some specimens the blotches merged as a stripe; mouth arched with lips a little furrowed, mental lobe moderate marked and covered with papilla; and thinner caudal peduncle (Ref. 115646).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00254 - 0.01244), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
