The oscar isn't the problem its the flowerhorn. The oscar would get destroyed before the it did any damage to the flowerhorn.
I have a 125 with a male and a female flowerhorn, a texas, a green terror and a pink tailed chalceus. They all get along together fine so I wouldn't totally eliminate getting a flowerhorn as it really all depends on the fish. The key is I only have 1 male and he is the dominant fish and the largest flowerhorn. Also buy a flowerhorn that is about half the size or smaller than oscar. Just big enough to not get eaten of course.
Well my Oscar lives with a common pleco they leave each other alone but that's about it and there were 4 large tiger barbs in with him but when he got bigger he ate them. Im just not sure what i should do cause i don't want him to get hurt or over stressed if i add another fish but on the other hand i think he should have a pal and become a little more active.

always a tough one, and while it could go 50/50 you could always try getting a dempsey to go in with him. but like i said its 50/50, some depmseys are chill and just want to eat and sit around, some are hellraising devils.
as far as a FH if you care about the oscar, i agree with everybody else dont risk it
