Safe To Add Another Female?

[Kombat]

I have a 5G tank with a female betta and 4 Cherry Barbs. It's been setup for several months with no problems.

I was wondering if it would be ok to add another female? Is there a slight risk involved? Or should I just leave well enough alone.
Thanks,
Karl

think theres more than a slight risk involved! you should either keep females singly, or in groups of 5 or more. if you add another chances are they will fight and damage, if not death will be the result

5 is definitely too many for my tank, so I'll leave it. Thanks.
