Anyone done this with peacock bass and oscars? Thoughts?
What are you trying to put with them? Some natives will work, many won't because p bass need such a high temp.

Neither Peacocks or Oscars are native but you can catch both out of the same water ways in certain parts of fla.

A LMB or Bluegill may work. Only ones I can think of that may be able to handle the high temps the Peacocks need. They still may suffer some stress at those temps though. Some sort of catfish may work as well.

Got the 450 going good now and was thinking of adding an oscar and a mono pb. I know these two are not native to the USA but you can catch them in parts of Florida and Ive heard in Texas as well. Have any of you done this? Pros or Cons

Now I'm confused. Are you asking about natives with an Oscar and Peacock? Or about whether an Oscar and peacock can live together? Oscars and Peacock are not native or cold water fish regardless of where you can catch them.
