Do you think its alright for me to mix a 5inch retic with 3 inch peacock bass, as well as an 8inch oscar with a 7inch polypterus?
 
got a 5'' retic and 2x pbass 6''
 
why u worried about the polypterus? it wont get eaten and it wont bully the other fish.
ive got an 8" senegal in with a 1.5-2" hybrid fish and they are the best of friends =)
i dont know about the retic and pbass though
 
Ive had P-Bass with retics before no problems for me and I currently have a 13" oscar with a 12" ornate bichir , as long as theres enough territory it should be ok , just keep an eye out

i worried about it because he keeps bullying the retic he almost bit the eyes off. so now i would have to move him in with the oscar or in the plastic bin. So u don't think the oscar would bother him? btw the oscar tank is a 120 with a tinfoil, pleco(goes in the bin if i move the poly), and 2 feeder fish(4inch oscar didnt even bother eating them)
 
oscars are fairly peacefeull for cichlids, they are easily hasseled by the more aggresive cichlids, so if your asking the oscar will be mean to the 8" poly i doubt that very much. and also polys are very fast. i made mine a little cave, and several other retreats because if they get freaked out they sometimes jump. but if you give them some little areas where they can only get. they dart to those when they are scared.
so if you make him his little terrirtory just incase, there shouldnt be any problems
