Remove either the loach or the Oscar. Oscars eat things that are long and slender ( i.e. fish, worms, lizards, etc.) so he will most likely never really 100% stop trying to eat the loach. The up side is that Clown Loaches ( and most loaches) have a spike under their eyes to help deter fish from eating them but if a loaches head gets into another fish's mouth, it's possible for the loach to give that fish a mortal wound. With that, it's better to be safe than sorry. They are not a good combination.
Hope this helps.

My Pleco L022 runs my Oscar around he is about 8 inches long with a big head Oscar is about 6 inches. They both seem to be able to take care of themselves. I don't know what else you have in your tank but the larger Plecos seem to do well with Oscars. I also think you need to rehome one of them. What size is your tank?
