If the other three are happy together, they may gang up on the new turtle because he is new. There is a huge possibility that they will fight. I would keep them apart, unless you have a really huge pond and are willing to risk it. Turtles can do a lot of damage to each other, I have heard of turtles ending up with no feet.
