Distribution: The painted goby can be found as far north as Trøndelag. It is quite common inshore, from the intertidal zone and as deep as 50 meters.
Characteristics: It may be confused with the common goby. The most distinct difference is the one or two rows of darks spots on the slightly separated dorsal fins. The major body color is brown with four or five diffuse, dark spots along the flank. It may may reach a body length of 5,5 cm.
