Looks like a product of post injury and should heal on its own
Maintain good water quality and diet

Probably scratched himself on a rock.

I agree. Just watch it for now. Definitely not velvet.

If the fish is still eating well and not breathing fast, I would chalk this up to a minor injury.

Looks like there are som white dust or something on the fins to... not absolutely sure

What a beauty.

I do see the white markings on the fins as well, but my guess is it’s an extension of the injury to its side.

Velvet would likely be visible on both sides, there would be a ton of smaller spots and the fish would be showing obvious signs of distress.

Velvet is a fast killer, maybe 24-48 hours.
I don’t see anything that concerns me.
Best to just stay the course, but, keep watch.
