I actually asked my doctor about that as I have fish and mice. She said as long as I don't try to even lift the empty tank, and wash my hands really well when I was done cleaning it, that it would be fine. The only animal you really have to worry about are cats because of something in their poop can harm the fetus.

Just make sure you wash your hands real good after you finish but no. I had a small one. And cleaning with anything chemicals or anything just open. The windows and wear gloves.
