There's an import of two Australian lungfish from Australia for a public display in 1995 according to CITES.

@Rizz Carlton IDK who imported them, probably DAT back in the past

@Fargusno SeaWorld Ancol seems very likely, Ancol animal facilities (Samudra & SeaWorld) were very enthusiastic for imports for decades, until COVID-19 slowed that ambitions.

I've never realized how beautiful the Australian lungfish are, since I've only seen them in a tank without much light. Nice photo!

@merlin This was my best shot of the fish. The first time I saw a live Australian Lungfish was at River Safari back in 2014.
