They have been on exhibit for the last several months, though I didn't manage to see them on my last visit. They are very hard to see; the best place is from the bridge before you enter the exhibit.

The aquarium's plan to build a dolphin sanctuary has been delayed.

They are permanently off exhibit as of last year due to their old age. Many of them are original to the exhibit opening in 2005. There are currently no plans to get new flying foxes in the collection and are considered a phase out species for the Aquarium.
I'll have photos up tomorrow, but I went to the aquarium today (well, yesterday) and took photos of each tank and all signs. Here's a species list according to signs, with two others noted that I asked about. If you want a specific latin name please ask! Each tank is in alphabetical order, as well.

As well as green honeycreeper.
Imitating poison frog is also exhibited here.
Specifically, the marbled prehensile-tailed lizard, Polychrus marmoratus. Without such distinction it is easily confused with other species.
The death adder and knob-tailed gecko are separate from both the main enclosure (which also houses Hosmer’s skink) and each other.
No longer kept.
Permanently off-exhibit, as noted in the post directly above yours...
Mertens’ water monitor, eastern snake-necked turtle, and eastern water dragon.

No Common barking geckos?
I don't think the corrections were intended to be read in a bad way, but rather just for additional information (due, presumably, to incomplete signage at the facility?)
No, and I don’t recall ever seeing this species at NAIB.

Nephrurus levis is the Common Knob-tailed Gecko - I have never heard of the species being called "Common Barking Gecko" and that name "belongs" to an entirely different (African) species..
Ah, that would be the “knob-tailed gecko” listed above - the aquarium does indeed keep N. levis, but like Chli, I’ve never heard that name for this species.
I don't think the corrections were intended to be read in a bad way, but rather just for additional information (due, presumably, to incomplete signage at the facility?)
It didn't come across that way to me. It only takes a second to add some sort of acknowledgement at the start of a reply, or even "like" my initial post.
With Maya's death, the Aquarium is left with only six dolphins - two males and four females - the lowest since they've housed dolphins in Pier 4 starting in 1990. Plans are still being made to transfer the remaining pod to the National Dolphin Sanctuary once completed in 2021 or so.
Do they have a location yet?
No, not yet. Plans are still being made securing a location.
