We analyse the star-forming (SF) properties of the two brightest galaxies in the IC 65 group of galaxies and that of the four newly detected dwarf galaxies in the area of the group. The dIrr galaxies around the IC 65 contain a number of HII regions which show a range of stellar ages, and provide an evidence of propagating SF. The two brightest group galaxies show SF rates of ∼ 1 − 2 M⊙ yr−1, and can fuel the current SF level for about the next 3 – 7 Gyr.
