False gharial, with some friends. Circa 2008.
Discovered by @Caribbean Flamingo on Flickr
The pond once had a pair of arapaimas, before being moved to a newly-build aquarium in 2014. The pond is now empty and neglected.

"Ex-quarium" in SeaWorld Indonesia.
Discovered by @Fargusno
An leaning aquarium housing small schooling fish. It originally houses milkfish, then shifted into a freshwater tank housing a school of bala sharks, which is the most well-known version of the ex-quarium. After displaying bala sharks for a while, the tank houses denison barbs before it was removed for unknown reason, persumably to make space for their car-themed aquarium.

Common snapping turtle at Seaworld Indonesia. Circa 2013.
Source: @Fargusno
Following the phasing out of salties and false gharials from SeaWorld, their former exhibit were split into three part, the first houses Asian small-clawed otters (Otter Track), a mangrove beach-themed exhibit with mud crabs and mudskippers (Which goes horribly wrong as the crabs ate the mudskippers), and a turtle exhibit.
The turtle exhibit houses a mix of common snapping turtle, red-eared sliders, and spiny turtles, as well as silver dollars. The snapping turtle and spiny turtles were phased out in the mid-2010's. The aquarium is now a creek-themed exhibit predominantly houses silver dollars, as well as red-eared sliders and a single Amboina box turtle.

I was lucky to have a photograph of another inhabitant of the former aquarium, the barred sorubim. Which I posted on the Ocean Dream Samudra gallery:

A larger reef aquarium in SeaWorld Indonesia, with live corals and anemones. Circa 2011.
Source:
Sea World Indonesia
The aquarium have quite a long history. It was first used as an freshwater aquarium housing large pirarucus and pacus, until they were moved to the then-dugong aquarium when the dugong got larger. It then houses dozens of red-bellied piranhas. The aquarium was shifted from freshwater into saltwater, as it was revamped to house live reefs and anemones, as well as small coral reef fish. The aquarium was then shifted to house several species of moray eels, as well as humphead wrasse. In 2019, it was shifted again, but it was reversed back into a freshwater aquarium. The piranhas returned to the aquarium, where they remain to this day.

Not really much is known about this one, other than the fact that the tank previously house a mix of box jellyfish, Portugese man o' war, and mastigias jellyfish. The aquarium was for some reason removed for unknown reason.

Huh, should've re-check my posts before posting it apparently...
Correction: It's actually an Indian volute or bailer shell (Melo melo)
They can get even larger than the one in JAQS, but yeah they're only displayed for a VERY SHORT TIME and boom!! Phased out!

A look into Ocean Dream Samudra's (Then-Gelanggang Samudra) saltwater aquarium. Circa 2005.
Later into the early 2010's, the aquarium exclusively houses freshwater fish. There's a statue of a whale shark in front of the aquarium's entrance which include a metal plaque showcasing information about the whale shark. Although not that clear, the statue can be briefly seen in the video, viewed from inside the aquarium's building.
The aquarium's building was presumably demolished or refurbished into something else in the mid-2010's.
