Although I love your taste in Rainbowfish, they are best kept in schools of 5 or more. They'll still be happy as long as you keep a couple of the same type in their, which you seem to have for each species.
Rainbows are generally Mid-level Top Swimmers and active, so the fact that their all huddled together at the bottom is unusual. I hope they are better now and wish you luck with your tank.
@FlFishFanatic interesting point and I agree. I noticed in my community rainbow tank they were all swimming on the bottom before I got around to putting gravel in. I think in the case of the tank in the vid the bright substrate may actually play a part in this. Seems to reflect a lot of light and I know from experience that hinders their colour and makes them more likely to hang out on the bottom 1/4 of the tank and be less active. Weird but anyway cheers.
I think you'll find that these Rainbows are simply new to their tank. Within a week they will be swimming around like crazy. I think the tank looks good so far and it's a nice size. Maybe get some Hardyheads and some more Australian Rainbows in there as well as the PNG ones you've got
hey man great video, but I really love this Sting song btw.

Yeah the fish look scared not lifeless. Mine were the same way until they warmed up, I still need to get them a bigger tank soon.

I hope you didn't add all those fish at once. Bacteria need to grow first. Are they alright still?
