During the 2010s, Sea World Jakarta considered making a reptile exhibit called HerpetoZone and a Humboldt penguin exhibit, but they were cancelled due to lack of funding and space. They also considered introducing Ocean sunfish and Mahi-mahi to their main aquarium, but it was canned since these two species required large, open exhibits with no rocks nor reefs. A plan for a Raja Ampat Islands thematic exhibit that would've featured species such as Indonesian speckled carpetshark was canned as well. The penguin exhibit plan was transferred to Ocean Dream Samudera back in 2018, which they managed to build and open in 2019.
