Depends on what configuration you hope to achieve... Assuming the tanks are exact matches and not just similar, you could take the bottom out of one and stack them to make an extra tall tank suitable for small arboreal animals (I have a 20 gal tank this shape that houses a yearling GTP). Remove the plastic frame from the top of one of the tanks and then place the other on top of it. Put some silicone in the seam. The problem here is that you now have this plastic "belt" around the middle of your tank. But this shape is hard to come by.
Otherwise, you are looking at surgically removing one side of each tank and re-attaching them. Use silicone sealant and maybe build a new wooden frame that supports the new unit. I have thought about doing this a number of times, but in the long run I have opted to build or purchase new. Your new tank will not be as strong as each original was, and you never know what uses for the 10 gal tanks you might have in the future. If money is the issue, you might try selling the old tanks to purchase new. I'd like to know what you come up with ----- Zoodude
