The tetras will 100% be eaten by the Oscar at some point, I would get them in a sandwich bag the next time you go to the LFS and give them as a donation or see if you can get a few bucks credit
Beyond just eating the other small fish, the oscar will outgrow a 90.
I wouldn't consider any fish that grow more than 9", for a 90 gal.
The oscar can get 12" to 15".

no he will not outgrow a 90 gallon tank, most if not all Oscars max out at 14 inches if that.
You can have a solo Oscar in a 90 gallon tank for llfe, heck I would even say a 75 gallon would be fine. If you are looking for another solo wet pet anything that is around 10-14 inches would be fine, though 14 is pushing it a bit.
I agree. I had a 13" Oscar in a 75g and felt a 4' tank was too small. IMO a 125g+ would have been much better.
It's really a matter of opinion. Some will say 90g is too small for an Oscar, some will say 55 or 75 would be fine for one. personally I feel like a 90 is "just" okay with minimal tankmates. I kept one in a 90 for years with some severums and it was okay. Bigger is always better. Seeing how you already have the 90g, It might be better to pick a fish that will stay a little smaller. But it can be done, in the end it's up to you and what you think.
