I have two functions $f(x)>0$ and $g(x)>0$, both decreasing. Then, can I claim that the product $f(x)g(x)$ is decreasing as well? ($x>0$)

Is product of two decreasing functions (and positive) decreasing as well?

Yes, $0<a<b$ and $0<c<d$ implies $ac <bc <bd$ so $ac <bd$.
Let $x<y$ and take $a=f(x), b=f(y), c=g(x), d=f(y)$.
