fire belly newts and fire belly toads

can you put these in the same aquarium if they have enough room? I figure it should be ok since they are both posionus.

Personally, I wouldn't. I've heard too many horror stories about newts ending up with loss of limbs or life due to being placed with firebelly toads. They are both poisonous, true, but I'm sure their poisons can affect eachother, since they are not the same species.
