Copper is only a treatment for Ich, it will not only not help with the Popeye it will weaken the fish as the Copper is toxic, just to a lesser degree on fish than Ich. I do not recommend it's use here.

I would quarantine and treat with antibiotics if you have them. When I had eye infections in my clown pair I was able to successfully treat them with Metroplex and Kanaplex. My fish had more cloudy eye however, not Popeye.

Hopefully others with more experience with Popeye than I will chime in.

My goldflake angel had a bad case of popeye. I dipped him in formalin. Turned out he had flukes. Had to dip him a couple of times in a 30 day period. Fish recovered 100%. Hope this helps.
 
What's the most common cause of popeye. I'm pulling out and going to treat everything one at a time
