One of the best sites I have found for these fish are
www.waterwolves.com
There are lots of photos, info and experienced keepers on the site.
You do have to become a member, however there is no spam or anything attached to the membership. It is a great site for the more exotic fish keeper. Plus, there are experienced keepers that have these types of fish and can help you from experience.

As far as I know, there's only one species that's commonly sold as a dragon fish (AKA dragon goby or violet goby - Gobioides broussonetti). A smaller species (Rhinogobius wui) is sometimes sold under the same name, but is much less common and doesn't look the same (google red-throated goby). The dragon goby is mostly sold as freshwater, but will do better in brackish water conditions. Despite their nasty appearance, they're filter feeders and will spend a good amount of their time burrowing in the substrate in search of food. They love frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp.
The above species shouldn't be confused with another dragon goby (Amblygobius phalaena, more typically called a banded goby) or the dragon wrasse (Novaculichthys taeniourus) which are marine.
If put some links to each of the species here below:

Try posting up a pic of it and someone can most likely give you a name and a link to some care instructions. Use somewhere like photobucket for the pic and then add a link to the additional information part of your question.
