Eventually he will call the swordtail dinner without a doubt and the angelicus loach will be a meal sooner or later as well. The 2 angel fish might not get eaten, but will be killed eventually as well. IF the plecos grow quickly enough they may escape harm, but if not the Oscar will try to eat them as well. Considering their spines, he might die trying to eat them.
The Oscar is just acting like an Oscar really, they take quite a while to settle in.

The only thing I'd keep with an Oscar are little goldfish... and when there are three left I go buy four more. :-P Seriously, I would get a tank divider to keep him to the left or right isolated from your other fish - unless you have a huge tank, any other fish will be terrorized or eaten to death (possibly at detriment to the Oscar's health).
