Hi everyone,
We bought two female rats on Monday and they are amazing! We are so in love. After more research it seems that 3 rats would be ideal. Is it too late to add another sibling? Will they still recognise each other or will they fight? It's only been 4 days......

Re: Adding a sibling retrospectively
It'll be fine, like they've never been parted - go for it, they will be happier as a trio. 
Rats have good memories - kittens I've homed out have still remembered me when coming back for a ratsit a year later. There is also a family smell that means they will recognise closely related rats they've never met before.
