Sounds really neat but I'm not sure if the fish would like it or even be
able to move about since they are adapted to moving thru water and not
air. Even humans can't really swim thru air in zero G- but have to push
off from a solid surface. We might be able to devise artificial wings to
allow muscle powered flight in zero G or low gravity environments like a
lunar habitat dome.
I have a feeling that when we do go into space to live we will probably
live in spinning habitats because gravity is important to maintaing our
long term health and it's also conveninet to make things work- like
plumbing for instance. We'll probably raise fish too- in tanks in some
kind of gravity feild so the water will stay where it belongs and can be
easily drained when necessary.
