Ok, I promise not to breed with this animal, though a batch of
mermaid fry would be kinda neat. ;-) (Sorry I couldn't resist.)

Though, seriously, you are the second person that has expressed concern
to me about hybrids. *If* I can raise the rainbow fry to adulthood, I
will not either sell or give them away. They will have been the first
batch of fry that I will have ever raised (and under such adverse
conditions!), and they will be special to me. I wouldn't get rid of them
for any reason. I had never intended to raise fish, and this batch of
fry came as a surprise to me.
When and if I ever decided to start raising Rainbows, I would isolate
them in species tanks. I'm not interested in creating strange hybrids,
though I own one hybrid rainbow that is magnificent.
Hopefully that sets your mind at ease. :)
