Provided your tank is big enough it shouldn't be a problem, but you should be prepared just in case they don't get along and you need to separate them.
They can be territorial, and especially in overcrowded tanks this can lead to serious aggression.

the main consideration for me is the housing when adult. how big is the tank now? If it's smaller than it should be then definately don't, but also consider the size of the tank you're going to have to buy once they are adult.

That's why I usually start my answer to this question with "Provided your tank is big enough..."!

She may be right, give it a while and see how big the other two get, you may change your mind as well!

Hi, Bear in mind that a female could get a foot long, and you could have two of these on your hands
