My guess is your rainbow may have some type of parasitic worm (possibly skin or gill flukes). If possible you should QT the fish and treat it with a parasite medication.

You will need to treat for fungus, using a fungus med, and add some salt if the fish you keep can tolerate it.Also can you post test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph,as red gill can indicate high nitrites.
