I have 3 polypterus in my tank with a firemouth and i love bottom fish and i wanted to get a dragon goby. Will this fish be a bad tank mate?
 
I'd say probably...Dragon gobies are slow feeders, unaggressive and like brackish water...but I've also seen 'em in tanks with similar fish.
 
Yeah they really do better and live longer in a brackish setting so I'd say nay to this idea too. It's not that they wouldn't get along with the other fish they just tend to do better in brackish water.
 
Do much better in brackish, not active or aggressive feeders. Will be easily out competed for food.
 
Just get more polys :D

Like everyone else said its not a good mix. Thats why I got rid of my dragon goby when I got into bichirs.
