Add another oscar to the tank, offset the aggresion


That may be a great answer if these were African Cichlids... but it doesn't work with Oscars, or most SA/CAs for that matter...
 
what so ever Oscar's are often described as a friendly fish towards their own kind.
 
my oscars are constantly fighting. just keeping an eye on them throw in some melefix from time to time to help with healing you can also try and lower the temp in the tank a little something clams them down
 
like someone else said, put some distraction in there. id add a trio of silver dollars, rearrange the tank and see what they do. you may need to separate them if they are damaging eachother..
 
Your oscars won't kill each other though. they aren't like most cichlids w/ sharp teeth that can can do a great deal of damage.
 
I will ad an short video of them fighting and how they behave as soon as uploading will finish.

This is completely untrue... I've had Oscars kill each other... and I've had Oscars kill other fish... it is silly to think an Oscar cannot kill another Oscar...
