So I woke up and looked into this tank with a temporal slider and a Cherax(I love my Cherax fr), and I noticed that my blue fella was out of the water, I took a photo thinking it was funny bc I've never seen him out of the water before, and when i touched the water I got the strongest electric shock of my entire life, absolutely horrendou, I felt dizzy for like 5 minutes before turning the power off (I was still feeling electric current, does anybody know why?) and later on I just unplugged anything inside the tank, I'm going to buy new filter and heater because idk what caused it, I feel so sorry for my little Cherax đ

It’s probably the heater. People have been killed by this before.
Pull everything from the tank and look for exposed wires. My money is on the heater if you have one.
Lol. I use electrical tester pen everytime i touch the water. Troubleshoot it, plug each one and test if there is current leak.
All electric devices used near water should have GFCI protection – guessing that was not the case here? Look into a plug-in GFCI adapter, theyâre very inexpensive considering the benefit they provide.
A lot of people do not do this but following any electrical shock you really should visit hospital. You could potentially have done damage to your heart/organs – especially if you were still feeling symptoms afterwards
