Isn't that only when they are near the surface and the charge must reach the earth before any living think is killed.

Boats in a marina discharge lots of electricity into the water but we don't feel it when swimming because we are not grounded....I think

Re: Help required, Electrical.

May I suggest that it may be an 'earth' wire that has come adrift? Check each 13 amp plug (that you are using in the fish tank) to make sure that the item it powers is 'earthed'...

This is a classic example of that situation.
