I added some smaller (3") silver sharks in with my oscars, and spent the next few hours watching oscars swim round with silver shark tails sticking out of their mouths :(

Waited until I found some larger (5") ones, and they've survived fine. Note that my oscars are just kids (about 6"), so larger O's will need larger tankmates still.

I've also got Silver Dollars, a Red Tail Shark and Convicts in with them, all of which seem to work well. If going the convict route, stick to one sex only, as a breeding pair will terrorise everything else in the tank regardless of size :)
