That would depend on your location where you are from. Also the price of the fish plays a part of it as most middle man who gets them won't buy the expensive one unless someone orders them.

Any LFS that have lungfish
-West african lungfish (Protopterus annectens annectens)

These 5 lungfishes listed below are just a matter of phone call to the supplier.
-Congo marbled lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus congicus)
-Slender african lungfish (Protopterus dolloi)
-Marble lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus aethiopicus)
-South american lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa)
-Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri)

You just have to look for the right supplier that have them.
-Gilled african lungfish (Protopterus amphibius)

Just got one recently and I have never seen other hobbyist that have them nor other pupular suppliers. Only direct contact from Africa.
-Southern lungfish (Protopterus annectens brieni)

I have never seen these available in the hobby nor clear pics of them.
-Mesmaekers' lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus mesmaekersi)
