Your Pleco may not last long in the tank. Unles it is bigger than the fish are.

lol the pleco will be fine, the oscar will only eat it if it fits in its mouth.

Well you might be surprised with this answer on the oscar eating a pleco. I have seen pics of a Oscar trying to eat a pleco that was the same size. Both fish died from this because of the plecos spiney fins lodged itself in its mouth and no way to remove it.

Actually a pleco needs to be larger than the oscars for it to work.
