Couldn't quite understand the naming "Innovation Aquarium" to be honest, but still looks like a great exhibit. Shame that this and the kinda identical water monitor exhibit in Jakarta Aquarium didn't last long.
Lost, rare, and non-existant media of Indonesian zoos and public aquariums

An SeaWorld Indonesia TV commercial, circa 2009.
For shame. Crocodile exhibits with underwater viewing is a rarity in Indonesia, and for now only the false gharial exhibit in Batu Secret Zoo has it. You can see the gharial from the aquarium, though the water is a bit cloudy and you can only see the fishes. Oh, Predator Fun Park's crocodile exhibit also has underwater viewing as well.
Most zoos in Indonesia lacks underwater viewing or deep water for crocodilians. The crocodile exhibit in Lembang Park and Zoo supposed to have an underwater viewing but the zookeepers are too lazy to fill in and only left a shallow puddle for it.

If I'm correct, Batu has not yet to display the young false gharial in the now proboscis monkey exhibit, since they planned to build a new exhibit for the gharials.
Batu does have an exhibit for dwarf caiman that have a underwater viewing.

One of the aquarium at Seaworld Indonesia's freshwater section:
Seaworld Indonesia's goldfish in the original aquarium. They used to have a corner with various breeds of goldfish, now they were all put into one kitchen-themed aquarium.

A billboard in Ancol promoting a sand tiger shark for SeaWorld Ancol. They apparently almost got another sand tiger shark but for unknown reason was canned. My dude even taped the "sand tiger" of the name, most definitely to avoid false advertising.

I realized the leucistic pangasius in the arapaima tank are refugees from that tank. Previously there were no pangasius in it.

Other interesting thing seen in the video include the museum, a young alligator snapping turtle (Could probably be a same individual that still displayed in the aquarium), and American bullfrogs.

FRIGGIN FINALLY!!!
And it turns out the arapaima tank was never the sawfishes' exhibit back then, but rather the gar exhibit!!

A soft opening teaser video of Faunaland. Circa 2016.
The "will be added soon" segment of the video include several interesting species, which were taken at PT. Faunaindonesia. Some animals shown there were eventually displayed in the park, notably the white lions, but some aren't. They'll probably going to be displayed in the future or just flat out canned.
These include:
* Knobbed hornbill
* Golden tiger (Color variation of Bengal tiger)
* Javan leopard
* Red-eyed crocodile skink
* Northern snake-necked turtle
* Hyacinth macaw
* Sulawesi bear cuscus
* Silver pheasant
* Sumatran binturong
* Snowy owl
They also originally planned to have saltwater crocodiles and animatronics for their river cruise, but were canned.

Former inhabitants of Gembira Loka Zoo's reptile and amphibian Park. Circa 2014.
Gembira Loka Zoo has probably the most species of amphibians in Indonesian zoos, sad that they now only have few. They also have a number of interesting species of reptiles, which they still have quite a lot today.
File-eared tree frog:
Spanish ribbed newt, Cranwell's horned frog:
Barred tiger salamander, emperor newt, great crested newt:
Green ameiva:
Mata mata:

AFAIK I still remember going to a PT Fauna Indonesia stand at Pasar Seni Ancol back in 2013, and they said they're going to open a zoo in Ecopark. They had some reptiles there including rhinoceros iguanas. Also, they invited me to their office and breeding center in Cibubur, but I declined sadly.
