OK let me get this straight you got a tomato clown and a LTA.

And you want to get/add another tomato clown and RBTA.

Biggest issue I'm seeing is a serious problem if you end up adding another female clown.

tipping the scales? meaning over loading your filtration? Well depends upon what that is, what your stablity is like and often you like doing water changes. Seems like a Very full tank as is to me.

Not likely to get more then 5.00 for an LTA trade in, not worth it IMO. If it's happy leave it.

Well, the one I have is about 1 1/2 "...the larger one in QT is 2 1/2...I had assumed that the larger one will be the female...can I put in a RBTA peacefully...the filtration is good, do weekly wc of about 25%...use algone and "blue"...so far, everyone is happy, eating...also plenty of cuc...

The largest one in a "school" is a female....only one in a tank means its the largest in the school and it changes. And the larger being the older but "newer" one is not good. I'd put money on it you have two females and 65 gal is not big enough to such, not enough territory they will fight and one will die. Pick one take the other back and pick out a small to medium one in a big group of young clowns all smaller then the female you pick.

smaller one has been in the DT for about 3 weeks...so that time makes it a female because it was alone?...no matter how it started...if that's so, I can net it out and sell it if they fight...worth the chance?...thanks...;Pompus
