Oscars can live with plecos, but careful consideration is needed. Oscars are aggressive and territorial fish, while plecos are generally peaceful bottom dwellers. It’s important to provide ample space and hiding spots to minimize stress and aggression. Additionally, ensure the tank is large enough to accommodate both species comfortably.
