Bobby,
No telling really. I have seen where people(not me though) have kept multiple crocodilian species together for years with no problems. However on the other hand I have heard of cases where it was attempted(not specificaly the two dwarfs though) and one killed the other the first day.

In the wild both species can be found in the same habitat, both sharing the same water. but I could not comment on captivity. I would not recommend it as both species can be very territorial……..

from what i have read it seems if you start them out very young together and let them grow up with eachother then they will be fine but when they become adult i think they'd probably fight a little because of territory. if you introduce them together about juvie size(although i wouldn't recomend it due to what i've heard and read) make sure you watch them closly and if they ever fight then separate them.
just my 2 cents
