Most cichilds completely ignore bichirs. There is the fear of if the oscar can fit it in its mouth it may eat it.... May want a bigger poly like an ornate or endli to go with your Oscar. As to silver dollars, the happiest day in the hobby is when I sold mine, lol. Not a big fan of them, but they do fill a tank with movement.
An Oscar will grow quickly compared to a sen. If you buy a small oscar at lets say 2" and a sen at 4", your oscar may put enough size on in 3-4 months that it could decide to try and eat that sen. The sen just will not grow fast enough to keep up. If you can get a bigger sen then the worry is a bit less. My suggestion for an Ornate or endli was because these would likely keep pace with the oscars growth since they are both known to grow fairly fast. And with a 132 gallons you could keep a bigger poly with that oscar.
Sens don't usually get big enough to live with an adult oscar. Teugelsi, ornate weeksi if purchased at larger sizes. Like

said ornates or lj species grow pretty quick and will or may keep pace with your O. An oscar can deffinatly eat a sen of smaller size as most cbs are/will be. I think an oscar and a nice ornate/ endli would be a nice tank. I'd go endli myself nicer pattern later in life. I really like congi too but I think slower growth and harder to get.
