Would it be alright to join in on one meeting before joining the club?

Holly,

The killi group generally meets once a month at someone's house.  The
holidays have messed up the meeting schedule as of late, and I assume our
next meeting will end up being in Feb.

For me, killies have been very addictive.  But I find that a balance becomes
struck between time and space.  The two tanks you have might satisfy your
urge.  ;)

I generally keep all mine in species only tanks.  For most of the annuals I
keep, all the females look alike... so I would not be able to separate them
out later if I wanted to.  Better to keep species separate.

Mark
