Do hybrids get scientific names? For example like flower horns and blood parrots.
 
no. if you know the 2 species that make up the fish you could call it, for example, Parachromis managuense x Parachromis loisellei. This would be if you had a jag x loisellei cross. Otherwise, no they don't get scientific names.
