I admit I was puzzled too; you mean "when the bodge funally breaks
down", right? I do have an RCD on the circuit; would that not
immediately trip? In which case only the fish are likely to be in any
danger.


It would in 99+% of cases trip, yes. Whether the fish would survive
that depends. RCDs can occasionally fail though.

The fish won't be hurt I wouldn't think, unless they actually had
their noses on the leaking live part.
