Adding another cleaner shrimp

I've had a cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp in my tank for over 6 months with no problems. I was thinking if it would be ok to add another cleaner shrimp without causing any issues?

Should be no problem, might be a little chasing sometimes at first!

Should I try to get new one about the same size of the old one or it doesn't matter?

i dont think it really matter but it might be best to get one of similar size

The two cleaners would IMO get along well. Shrimp usually do well in mixed groups, as long as they have room to move around and get away from each other.
