Not only safe but a very very good idea.
Remember not only is it poo in water but with fish tb infecting up to 30% of
all aquarium fish it can save you a nasty infection.
No need to be a baby in a bubble about it but yea wack on some gloves espec
if you have open wounds or are cleaning jagged liverock filled tanks.
I wash me hands after playing in tanks too, stops ya getting salmonella.

Is it ok to waer rubber gloves when cleaning an aquarium or fish tank?
It's the type you use for dishwishing, but the gloves are new (not used
in detergent or anything), and I've rinsed it under running water for
about 5 minutes. Just want to check that it is ok to use.

Thanks,
