What size tank do you have the 2 oscars in. as the 2 fish are still very small there is no chance they are sexually active so definitely don't want to "hump". most likely they are just trying to sort out who's the boss. as long as no real damage isn't occurring they should sort it out between them and settle down, if fighting gets to the point that damage is causing the fish distress then you may need to remove one.

your tanks no where near large enough for 2 oscars. ok so they are small at the moment but you are in need of a much larger tank ASAP. this is most likely why the bulling has start, but may not be the only reason.your going to need around 100G plus to keep 2 large fish like oscars.

exactly what marcus says...
You have to be trusted. By the people that you lie to. So that when they turn their back on you. You get the chance to stick the knife in

aggreed, good enough for now, upgrade needed soon.
Or a rehoming of one fish...
I'd go for the upgrade.
