Pseudochromis springeri, also known as blue-striped dottyback, is a popular saltwater aquarium fish from the red sea and eastern Indian Ocean.

The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Victor G. Springer of the Smithsonian Institution.

Use of tank bred individuals in aquariums is often encouraged to reduce the pressure on wild populations.

Twenty gallons is typically quoted as the minimum tank size required to permanently house this fish, although it can be raised in as little as ten gallons with a risk of it harassing any other fish and invertebrates in its tank.

It is less aggressive than most dottybacks but will sometimes harass small, passive, fish and shrimp.
