Warning!! These get burning hot to the touch! You risk your fish bumping into it! I had fish mysteriously die and I couldn't figure out why until one day while cleaning I touched it and ow! I replaced all the Eheim Jagers after that. Do not buy!
Unless you are heating your house hot enough to get your aquarium temperatures in the right range for tropical fish, you are doing them a big disservice unless you keep cold water fish.

You likely were losing fish due to other reasons, most frequently it seems to be an uncycled tank.

That said, heaters get hot, swimming past one and touching it, will not kill your fish. If you have a fish that likes to sit on a heater, such as a stingray, then get a heater guard.

Not unless you break the thermostat on it in a way that it get's stuck on. Then you better also purchase a temperature controller to regulate it.

Just get a sous vide, they have been on sale for about $40-50 for some brands such as the one monoprice makes. Makes much more sense, it's thermostat is meant to get up to the temperatures to cook food, it would have a built in circulation pump, and have the wattage to get the temp up and keep it there.

Hello. I replaced the heaters with other brands as I said, so my water is not cold. My water parameters are great, tank is well established and cycled. The EJ heaters were crazy hot to touch. Fishes are small size (2 inch or less) and hence comparable to the size of the heater, so would most likely have got shocked to death by the intense heat upon on contact, if not burned. They were just dead all of a sudden (separate occasions) which indicates something sudden like shock or trauma or other physical injury. So had to be the heater, possibly when being chased by other fish.
My replacement heaters (also glass) are not crazy hot to the touch, which is why I am against the EJs.

I think every heater when running should be roughly the same temperature to the touch when it has been running for a while.

I'd look into a grounding probe:
https://www.amazon.com/RIO-Professional-Rid-Volt-Titanium-Grounding/dp/B07XC3GTQJ/ref=sr_1_4?keyword... [amazon.com]

I have had issues with stray voltage from heaters multiple times, usually I notice stray voltage if I have a small cut on my hand put my hand in the aquarium. A grounding probe can help with that, you can check for stray voltage with a Multimeter if you have one.

A heater that is too hot sounds like you have very poor flow over it.

Personally I prefer heaters with cages or are titanium to prevent the chance of shattering the tank.

Deal still on. I picked up 3. A couple of my cheap Chinese knockoffs went bad after only a few months of use, despite what all the overwhelmingly positive reviews would make you think. I've learned my lesson. Fortunately I didn't have any losses due to my error. Sticking with name brand.
