Anyone know how big a blackfoot lion gets? and would a small lion be ok in a tank with a pistol shrimp. ( the shrimp has a yellow watchman partner and is 3+ inches)

ooh, i know. about 9" according to fishbase. i had a yellow watchman get eaten by a fuzzy dwarf.

well the watchman is like 4 inches long. he's huge. when i got him i had no idea they got that big. idk i really would like another lion but not at the sacrifice of my watman.

Keep in mind that a 4 inch goby is a lot different than something like a 4 inch yellow tang when considering lionfish companions. A slender fish like a goby - even if it's longer than your lion - will fit nicely in the lions mouth! So, no - a lionfish of any sort would not be a good choice if you want to keep your goby.
