The Cleaners

[i love cichlids]

If i put a pleco the same size as my oscars(4in) would it be ok if they were in a 4ft tank and it had lots of hidey holes would the pleco get bullied???

The Oscars would pretty much ignore it. My Oscars always seemed peaceful enough as long as they couldn't fit a tankmate in their mouth!!!

I agree, should be fine. Go for 'common' plecs though (HYpostomus Plecostomus) as they will keep up in size in relation to growth with the Oscars and they're very tough cookies!! I would consider gong for a larger tank and good external filtration eventually though because of potential water quality problems (both are very messy fish when bigger).
