Those two should be no problem at all in a tank together. Each should be housed as a single specimen though, only one male betta per tank and only one Rainbow Shark. Rainbow Sharks are quite territorial with their own kind so more than one means someone is getting beaten up. A large group of them only means that many are getting beaten up, but just a little bit each, which is still a quite stressful situation for the fish.
Keep them together, but only one of each and you'll have no problems.

It relies upon on how many rainbow sharks.

Your betta would be advantageous. do no longer forget approximately, they upward push as much as 5" so which you will could desire to have room for 6 or greater sharks in case you pass previous protecting him singly.

It depends on how many rainbow sharks.
The Rainbow Shark should be kept in groups of either one or more than 6 and is compatible with Bala Shark, Betta (Siamese Fighting), Bosemani Rainbow, Cherry Barb, Clown Loach, Croaking Gourami, Dwarf Neon Rainbow, Flying Fox, GloFish, Iridescent Shark, Kissing Gourami, Kribensis, Otto Catfish, Pearl Gourami, Pleco (Common), Rosy Barb, Siamese Algae Eater, Sparkling Gourami, Three Spot Gourami, Tiger Barb, Tin Foil Barb, Zebra Danio
They should either be kept singly or in schools of 6 to keep aggression down amongst themselves. Your betta will be fine. Don't forget, they get up to 5" so you'd have to have room for 6 or more sharks if you go past keeping him singly.

Rainbow sharks seem to maintain their own space at medium and lower levels, while betta is a upper level fish.
If your tank is of good size, it should be fine...
I forgot to mention that both are quite peceful with other fishes, and would only fight with their own kind (male betta vs male betta etc) , so you can easily go for it.

If the betta is a female, then it would be ok. If the betta is a male, then it'll rip it to shreds.

Yes, because it would be like putting a lion in the same cage with a bull...... in other words, they would fight eachother and possibly one would get killed..... bad idea.
