I was cleaning my fish tank with a gravel vac and it accidently sucked in a baby aro. Now i can see its stomach (orange sac) thing hanging off its sides.

i think the suction ripped his stomach out through a weak spot, he was fighting with another aro.

as of right now he is still swimming.

If it still has the sac, I would probably avoid gravel vaccing. Instead just do partial water changes. Hope it works out for you.

yeah i decided to stop, see what happens. you think he will heal with his sac still outside his body. i dont know how he is gonna do he is swimming but the sac is bleeding

ill post some pics in a bit
