Not normally - if the heater element is exposed to water, either the fuse in the heater itself (all such devices are UL certified) will break the circuit, or the house fuse/breaker will open.
However, malfunctioning heaters usually wind up either overheating or just going off, leaving it too cold for the fish, which will stress and make them sick. Always get a good quality heater, and one that's rated for the next size tank bigger than the one you're putting it in or you risk underheating the tank.

Watching fish swim gracefully back and forth in an aquarium can be a relaxing pastime. And a fish aquarium can also be an attractive item in the home. Here are a few tips for creating a fish aquarium that will look appealing and be a pleasure to own. 1. If you do not have a good deal of time to maintain an aquarium, choose one of a smaller size that will not require as much maintenance. You might also want to consider a freshwater aquarium to start off with, as saltwater aquariums require more time and attention. Later, you can always add a saltwater fish aquarium to your home. 2. A natural-looking aquarium, made up of artificial or live plants, can be a peaceful environment for the fish and an attractive item in the home. If you like a very colorful aquarium, then you might want to choose some of the fancy ornaments that are made specifically for placing in fish aquariums. You can also decorate the tank with colorful gravel along the bottom, which will add even more vibrancy to the atmosphere of the aquarium. 3. For the health of the fish, you should place your aquarium in a location where the indoor temperature will not fluctuate. It should also be kept out of direct sunlight. In colder weather, a tank heater will keep the water temperature at a consistent level. 4. Make certain that you have all of the proper equipment for your tank. An aquarium with dead fish will not be attractive or relaxing. Your fish aquarium should have gravel, a heater, a light, a filter, and places for your fish to hide. Check with your local fish store to see if you have all of the equipment your tank will need to keep the fish happy and healthy. 5. When choosing occupants for your tank, be certain to pick fish that are compatible with each other and will not fight. You will end up with sick or dead fish if you try to pair up inhabitants that will not get along with each other. With the proper occupants and equipment, your fish aquarium will be beautiful.
