That is almost assuredly ich, not velvet. Sometimes, you can get mixed infections, but when you can see distinct spots like this, it is ich. Either way, coppersafe in a hospital tank is the best course of action. Hyposalinity would be the next best option. I will add though that when a fish has this severe of an ich infection, treatments do not always work in time.
