In my opinion I think you can add them if you want to feed your tems an expensive meal. I've tried similar in the past and I just ended up disappointed.
Maybe you'll be lucky but in my personal opinion I would not advise it.

feed the new ones more, and change their water more. they should grow faster, and when they are same size, put them in the same tank.
I guess I shall have to ask my friend to keep my lovely vieja zonata in her fish house to free up a tank at home.
i had a 3 inch occell/mono once.
i added some 2 inch tems.
one was eaten and i quickly seperated the rest.

if it looks like there heads can fit in the other ones mouth then its not a good idea. even if its a close fit i wouldnt do it
I did it with 5" mono and one of the Ocel was a little bigger the 3 1/2. I didn't have any problems but it sounds like I was lucky I guess!
Okay the three 4" bass are growing in a 30g. I will put the four 2.5" bass in a 50g and feed them more than the others. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!!
