Besides rehoming either fish, I'd say giving the pleco a few good hideouts that only it can get into to get away from the oscar would be a good idea if there isn't one in the tank already. As long as you do that, hopefully your pleco will be smart enough to go in there when the Oscar bothers him too much. Not much else you can do besides selling 1 of them or putting 1 in a different tank
