The heating element in my heater seems to have exploded, cracked the glass, and was shotting electricity into my water. I came home from class and found it like that, I grabbed it & shocked myself (duh-should have unplugged it, but I panicked) and my betta died a few hours later. The other fish seem lethargic, but recovering. I got a new heater right away too. BUT OH MAN........ I never expected that to happen. The wiring in my house is all good & surge protected, so I guess it was just that the heater was a few years old and crapped out. What a bummer though. My first dead fishie.
