Do you think a jaw fish will be fine?

that should be okay. They get like 4 inches. so as long as the dwarf species you are talking about is a fuzz, dward zebra, or a fu manchu that should do well. Lions are not agressive fish, they just will eat pretty much anything. Just make sure that the jawfish isnt too small when you get the lion, and make sure he isnt too big.

my fuzzy grows at a fast pace. i got him when he was an inch about 2 months ago and he is already 5 inches. he hasn't eaten most of my fish the only thing that he is suspect of eating is a yellowtail blue damsel, and a bicolor blenny and probably one of my cleaner shrimp. for some reason he doesn't touch my biggest cleaner shrimp or my fireshrimp. i'd say anything smaller than 3 inches and slender would be something you might want to reconsider.
