I've had very good success using CP on butterflies & angels, but back in the day I used Coppersafe on them without too many issues.
The main problem you might face is getting the Singapore Angel to eat; they sometimes starve in captivity. I would try live blackworms, a littleneck clam, raw oyster or black mussel if he refuses prepared frozen foods. You might also try this: http://reefnutrition.com/roe.php
FYI; hope you weren't planning on putting either one of these in a reef.

No reef...for my fowlr...would you do the angel , bf and 6 blue green chromis in the same QT (20 gal.)?...the bigger fish will probably be about 3" or so...I've had very good success using CP on butterflies & angels, but back in the day I used Coppersafe on them without too many issues.

You'd be fine so long as you provided sufficient biological filtration in the QT to break down ammonia. However, for chromis I highly recommend prophylactically treating for Uronema: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/uronema-marinum.247940/

If the lfs has the bf in copper...can I switch to cp in my QT...or if they're doing OK...leave well enough alone...although if I have chromis with them???any advise...
Using CP (pharmaceutical grade) would be ideal for this situation. According to LFS I advise, most chromis are coming in with Uronema these days so it is best to assume the worst.
You can switch over to CP or leave them in copper, your choice. You can technically mix the two (although for some reason I don't like doing that); so going back & forth between them shouldn't cause a problem.

My vet will write the script and Wallmart can get it...500mg. tabs..at 40 mgs/gallon...2 tabs should to it...I'll break them up fine and mix thoroughly before adding...how long did it say for qt...a month...?Using CP (pharmaceutical grade) would be ideal for this situation.

The tablets are fine to use, but the downside is you get less "chloroquine base" out of them so you must dose more (which becomes more expensive). The following was taken from Bob Goemans online book, THE LIVING AQUARIUM MANUAL:
