Hi,
When I was young I remember my mom adding a small amount of salt to our freshwater tank every month, or after water changes. She said something about it helping them build a stress coat or slime coat or something...I can't recall how much salt she used though, it was something around 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons I believe, but I don't want to experiment and overdo it.
If It helps, here's my current stock
2 Creamcicle Mollies
2 Red Velvet Swords
2 Hatchet Fish
2 Harlequin Rasboras
2 Danios
2 Bosami Rainbows
2 Opaline Gouramis (gorgeous fish by the way)
2 Japanese Algae Eaters
3 Rummynoses
1 Black Sword

A lot of meds destroy your biological filtration. I prefer being safe than to add unnecessary stress to the fish using medicines.
