Some people have managed to keep them together for periods of time. But there is always some risk involved, and most of us here don't like the idea of risking the life and limbs of a newt. Read:

basically no

The toxins of both species are harmful to each other. When I was younger I'd heard a story from a pet store employee who once housed a handful of FBT's with a handful of FBN's in one tank. The next morning she went to check on them and all the toads were dead.

I had this senario for about a week three years ago, nobody died or got hurt, but the toads clung to land. When I put them in their own container they were much happier.
