I am trying to design a habitat for fish in microgravity and want to know whether my design is feasible.
Currently, fish are just being held in stationary tanks and have no resistance so their bones become less dense and if they were brought back to earth would likely die.
I made what is essentially a centrifuge for them which I think would create artificial gravity if spun if I am not mistaken.

spin gravity would give them the gravity they need

You'd be better off just having the whole station have spin gravity though

But zero gravity is fun for people
I vote for dangerous spinning fishtanks

Even if it works, congratulations you've made something useless some NASA cronies probably thought up years ago but didn't do because it's dumb

Self-sustaining food production? Hello?

Then why the fuck does it matter if they'd die when they are reintroduced to earth? You simply keep sperm/eggs from them and recreate the population at the planet you land on.

This is actually fucking brilliant and solves a lot of problems brought up when people talk about colonizing other worlds.

It's trivial, just like most "problems" facing scientists today, which is why I find mainstream science to be boring.

Have you considered that you might just be really ignorant about science?

I certainly could be. I know the majority of the major problems facing the scientific community in several different fields, and I know that they could all be solved in a decade with competent people working on them. I would, but there's simply no money in it, and as anyone with half a brain stem knows the world revolves around money.
