Sounds like velvet, but a photo would help.
A pH of 6.2 is getting a little low, compared to the natural water where syspillum are found.
They live in areas where the pH is sometimes 8 or higher, and where the substrate is limestone. If it were me, I would have left the holy rock in the tank.

From my reading the velvet has to be introduced I put some rosy reds in like over a month ago and some tetras also. The only big change was taking out the holly rock and did a big water change.
Rosey reds are notorious disease carriers. But any fish you didn't quarantine for at least a month could easily bring disease in.
Holey rock does not carry disease, unless it originally came from a disease ridden tank..
