It will usually end up with the bluey's eating the dragons. Don't put them together untill they are all fully grown. Bluetongues function at much lower temps than Bearded's, and will squash the dragons head like a grape.

I would think that the reverse is also a great possibility, Beardies have a far greater growth rate then blueys.

No, in fact they are similar, it's easy to get blueys full size within 12 months, esp if kept at the heat needed for a BD, in fact, due to their low stress levels and their willingness to eat anythingand huge amounts of it, they often grow faster in a communal tank.
