Firstly welcome to the community.

Now regarding your fish and tank. Unfortunately it is far too small even for one Oscar. The plec will require nearly 100 gallons just for itself. So you have a bit of a dilemma. If you upgrade your tank to something much larger, I'm afraid you're going to have to do think about what you're going to do with the fish. The Oscar will grow very quickly and it won't be very long before you're having water quality problems.

Sorry if that's not what you want to hear, we have to be honest with you on here

welcome to the site.
please post data of your tank: length x width x depth
if it is 48" x 18" x 18" = 65 US gallon size. approx.
if that is so, you have few months to use it until upgrade
is available. of course, with good filtration, regulated
feedings to stunt the growth, and plenty of water change.
but that is not happy fish keeping. as OFL had said, bigger
tank is a must to avoid potential fish keeping problems.
