Those sound like fresh water fish too me. I'm not sure but, I think that the rainbows lay eggs. You probably don't have the set up needed to rear the fry if it's even possible. I wouldn't worry though as far as the long term health of the mother. Other than eating a little more gravid females won't cause you any problems unless they are territorial when breeding. I don't know about your rainbow but, you'll probably get better answers for the fresh water people.
