Hi
I'm pretty sure you wont have any problems right now. Later on down the road as your oscars get bigger it could be come a problems. Oscars love gold fish.

What size fish tank have goldfish been in so far?

a 10 gallon tank, how big will the oscar grow?

and do you think that since there so small they wont eat feeder fish?

i've had two oscars before in a 20 gallon tank. They grew to about six inches. Oscars get huge and are also very dirty when comes to eat goldfish. They will eat feeder fish pretty soon. The good thing about having the other goldfish in there is they'll eat pretty much anything so when your oscars start eating live fish you'll wont have to worry about your tank getting dirty

the other good thing about your goldfish being in a 10 gallon and now a 20 gallon is that they will double in size. The rule for goldfish is for every gallon the fish will grow a inch
