I have a 375 litre tank with
Tiger oscar juvenile
Severum juvenile
5 clown loach juvanile
And 1 featherfin catfish juvenile

My question is could I also add 5 spotted silver dollars or would that be to much

I also have a all pond solutions 2000ef external filter
 
I'd move either the oscar or the clown loaches out before the oscar eats them. Or the oscar gets killed trying to eat them.

Yes. Depending on the size of the oscar and the loaches you could have a few good months before any problems could arrive.

Oscar's will try to eat anything that will fit in their huge mouths.
Case in point I thought all was fine, my Oscar has lived with these Roseline sharks for eight months no issues at all. 20171224_002721.jpg

Then one fateful day she finally outgrew them and bam! 20180103_082344.jpg

Wasn't so bad in my case, but most bottom feeders have big spikes in thier fins that in most cases causes both fish to die in an attempted eating. So anything with an Oscar has to be big enough not to be seen as food.

I wonder how the roselines felt as she kept on growing bigger and bigger.
 
Gonna remove the clowns
And leave the silver dollars

And get a green terror

So 1 oscar
1 sev
1 green terror
1 featherfin catfish
