The spotfin goby cichlid, Tanganicodus irsacae, is an African cichlid fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika, where it is known only from the northern end of the lake. It lives amongst pebbles in the surf zone and can reach a length of about 7 centimetres. The species is also found in the aquarium trade. It is presently considered the only species in its genus, although another undescribed species is known from the Lukuga River, the outflow of Lake Tanganyika. The fish is named for the IRSAC, the Institut pour la Recherche Scientifique en Afrique Centrale. A monogenean gill parasite, Cichlidogyrus evikae, has been described from the spotfin goby cichlid.
