what tank size and what other fish are in there with him?
 
it's a 75 gal. and there's 2 oscars 2 pelcos and 2 clown loaches the oscars are about 31/2 INCH. PLECOS ARE ABOUT 2 abd one is 3 inches the clowns are 2 inches
 
I'd say it is because of the other Oscar and assuming the plecos are Common/trinidad wouldn't put it past them to attack your O

PS: Do you feed Goldfish or Rosy Red/fat head minnows?
 
I have to agree, that really looks like he is getting picked on. Keep an eye on your tank and seperate them if possible. It looks like aggression. To heal it I would add some melafix.
 
all I can tell you about the the pleco is that they where called choc.albino plecos I didn't know they could be that mean .
