Nearly all fish shops aren't out there to make friends. They are out to make money. Selling you the biggest tank they have and one of the most expensive fish they have seems like a good deal to me? We are NOT here to argue or mock you or give you bad advice, we are here to help.
Is the response your wanting some sort of miracale cure? Im sorry, but your probably not going to get one as your problem is most probably an exceptionally cruel captivity.
Ace of Spades is very experienced. When he says a Mbu needs 4000+litres he knows they do. As i also know, Mbu's need a tank of 1000+ gallons.
I dont know if your fish is savable, but your best bet is listening in here.
