If it is Marine Velvet. Cupramine is probably one of the only ways to get rid of it. Be sure to move your fish out of your display though and into a quarantine tank. You don't want residual copper in your tank whatsoever.

If it is ich and your fish are still eating, I would just let it run its course. As long as the fish are eating, they will generally fend it off. The time I had ich, I added Garlic puree to their food to help boost their immune system.

I added the Lammarks angel and the yellow watchman recently. The watchman is fine, no signs of disease. The Lammarks was the second to disappear, no body found.

If it was just ich I would leave it. But the spots are fuzzy and along with the breathing problems I think it is velvet.

I am setting up to treat with Cupramine. I am a little concerned because all I can find is API test kits locally and I hear they are not accurate detecting the Amine complex in Cupramine. I'll hope for the best.
