advice on lungfish purchase needed

In reality a South american lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) will probably max out under 4 feet in home aquaria

For the record the smallest known species of lungfish is the gilled African lungfish (P. amphibius)2'-Anne

I would think it would be safe because of the different feeding zones. but ask the sales person to be sure.
