On sort of an impulse, I bought three angels a couple of days ago. Their bodies are about the size of a nickle (one is about the size of a quarter). I had researced them before, but wasn't sure if they were right for my tank (65 gallon tall). But while talking to a lady at the lfs (who has always given me accurate and reliable info) said my tank was big enough for them, even when they got older and potentially became more territorial.

My question is, should I get another one, so all of them can pair off (assuming I'll have 2f and 2m).

Originally, I was only going to get two, but the lady said that the larger one would probably pick on the smaller one.
 
You can get one more easily. You'll be very lucky if you manage to get 2 males and 2 females though. Angels are naturally shoaling fish and do very well in large groups once a pecking order has been established.
 
I probably should have mentioned this before, but they aren't the only fish in the tank. I have about 20 other fish in there (all around 2 inches). If need be I could always relocate other fish to other tanks, but I'd prefer not too. I just want to make sure I have enough space for everyone if any of these angels (or all of them) deside to breed.
