You need to read up on a cycling tank.
How many gallons is the tank.

Are the fish tigar barbs.
You need to buy a liquid master kit in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
You will have to keep testing your water in a cycling tank.
Watch out for signs of a fish being pale and looking stressed, if they labour breath immediate water change.
Increase aeration in a cycling tank.

I would post this thread in new to the hobby.

I am now changing water every 12 hrs now it seems that it is working. I am sending you there picture also so that you can help me more.

It is okay to change water twice a day(i.e. every 12 hrs) or only Once a day.

The last pic looks like gourami and it shouldnt be resting on the bottom of the tank.

yea untill today morning it was like that but after frequent water change. it is playing both

I'm afraid most fish do die in a cycling tank as they have to go through the ammonia and nitrite process which can damage there gills and burn there skin.
Added to many fish to soon.
Gourami are very sensitive to water quality.
All you can do is keep up with water changes, or take the gouramis back to the lfs.

Do the fish have feelers as can't see them in the pic.
I would post this thread in general chat to see if members think they are gouramis as i'm not that good of fish types.

Have you bought some test kits yet.
I would also invest in an airpump and airstone for extra aeration, which you need in a cycling tank.
