I was thinking of getting one for my 125 and was wondering if it would be ok with a few geos a frontosa and eventually two bichirs del and ornate

Dragon gobies like brackish water in the long run. None of the fish you have listed do well in a brackish tank.

Oh ok is there anything like it that would work with that stocking

There are a lot of freshwater sleeper gobies that would be similar in behavior to a dragon, but they would either be harassed by or predate on your stock.
Bichirs are a good substitute for a dragon goby imo.

There's the snakehead gudgeon, Giuris margaritacea. I can't guarantee that your ornate would not attack it though since ornates tend to be more on the aggressive side. Also jade goby , Dormitator maculatus. You'll need a really big tank for it and the other fish. 200+ gallons.

African brown knifefish?

Spiny eels are fun, pretty sure bichirs are hit or miss with them though.

I wasn't sure If I would be able to keep one because my PH is unintentionally at around 8 because I didn't realize cichlid sand did that until it was already in

I was thinking of a black spotted eel since they can tolerate 6 to 8 from what I have seen
