    I would add another female, that way there is no problems if one of the two you already have turns male.

    Yeah, adding a male would be like roulette.

    A female is the way to go if you want another. One will turn male.

    Should I get a smaller female? Or try to find the same size?

    So long as it isn't considerably bigger, I think you'll be just fine.
