Default Clown Loaches flashing

Hi all I need some advise. Today my Clown Loaches and a few others began
flashing like crazy. I have had them for a year and they have been very
healthy once I got them past the ich. I checked the water, NH3/NO2 is at
zero pH is stable at 7.6 and temperature is also stable at 75. I do ~ 40%
water changes weekly with gravel vac and filter cleaning. I took a few
slime coat swabs and checked them under the microscope No signs of parasites
of any kind were detected. I have added salt at about 1 teaspoon per 5
gallons incase it is fungus or some other sort of parasite I missed. Anyhow
I am open to suggestions?
