Fish Compatible?

i want to keep red parrot fish with cichlid and Blue line shark, can i keep them together in one tank?

Blue Line Shark is also known as an Iridescent Shark Catfish. In the wild, it can reach up to 130cm, although in captivity they are a little smaller, topping out at about 90cm. To keep one properly, you need a tank about 5m x 2m x 2m - that would hold 20,000 litres, or 5,283 US Gallons, if you prefer it like that.
 
If you do not have a tank that size, DO NOT KEEP THIS FISH. It would be cruel, it would lead to deformity in the fish. You wouldn't keep an elephant in a cupboard. Don't keep an iridescent in a small tank.
 
Red Parrots are a hybrid of Central American Cichlids. What other type of cichlid are you wanting to keep with it/them, and in what size tank?

Tank size is 4*2*1.5

okay,... Shark is out. any small fish which can be kept with cliched in and Oscar as well.

Not really, those are both quite big aggressive fish, and big fish like to eat little fish. I'm not good with big fish, so I'll leave it to others to advise if you can have anything else in there, but it would need to be something very robust.

?

blood parrot, oscar, red tail barb and tiger barb?

 

[fluttermoth]

A full grown oscar will eat tiger barbs. The red tailed, you might get away with, but there's no guarantees; oscars can eat/kill pretty much anything if they decide they want to, apart from armoured catfish.

LIke I said, big fish eat little fish.
