400 quid for a second hand 90 gallon sounds expensive to me.
I only paid around 500 for a 7x2x2 and that was brand new.
I think after the Oscar and 4 I presume you mean hujeta gars,you will be more than fully stocked.
Really where did you get yours?
So for this 90 all i could stock would be
4 hujeta gars
1 oscar nothing else???

With heavy filtration and WC the O and gars will be full. I would say a 1.8m tank is min for the gar like fish due to the space they need to swim or dart without banging into the ends

Bichir may work, but getting food past everything may be an issue

Catfish will work in almost any tank. Buy yourself a Clarias Batrachus and you won't be overstocked for too long :)
On a more serious note, there are many catfish that can go in there. Pictus, Synos, and many others. If you lose the O, you will greatly increase your stocking options. Hujeta get along well with wolf fish.... and then you could do hoplo cats, snakeskin gouramis, etc.
