koran angel with cloudy eyes :(

Hi, I am new to having fish but my boyfriend is more experienced. Well I just got a koran angel fish against the fish stores advice and he now has cloudy eyes... the right eye is more cloudy than the left. When the right eye first became a little cloudy I went to the fish store where I bought him and they sold me pimafix. I used that for 4 days and it did not get better so i went to a different store and they sold me amoxicillin. I have used that yesterday and today and did a water change yesterday before using the amoxicillin. He does not seem to be getting all that much better. I called another fish store today and they said they put copper in the water instead of antibiotics. I am so confused. Any advice would be helpful. p.s. he also seems a little blothchy to me.

Oops I mean ampicillin.

Sorry to bother everyone, but the angel died...

Copper is to kill parasites amd unwanted "bad bugs".....your in the right direction treating it with an anitbiotic.

So how's it going......?
