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......?
