they'll be fine. they will only grow to the limit of the tanks size... fear not.

The rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon of water. If you have 4 angelfish, they'll grow to an average of 2.5 inches, then larger if/when one of the others dies.

Fish growing to the size of their tank is a myth. They stop growing on the outside but their organs continue to grow and thus pressure increases on them. Soon enough, their internal organs fail, a painful death. I would not keep an angelfish in any tank smaller then 20 gallons and atleast 1 foot tall. Any large fish kept in a small aquarium WILL do poorly and/or die an early death.
