The short, simple answer is NO. Mixing species is nearly always a bad idea. Take a look here for past experiences- http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/Mixing_disasters.shtml

As for identifying your black and yellow newt, you need to be a bit more specific. Was it a newt or a salamander?

This is the only black and yellow newt that I know of- http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Neurergus/N_strauchii.shtml

Additionally it could've been a spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) or a species of Fire salamander (salamandra). The list just goes on.

That picture is of a Fire salamander, I believe it is Salamandra salamandra terrestris

Here's a care sheet- http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Salamandra/Salamandra_sp.shtml
