We examine the effect of the intra- and interspecies scattering lengths on the dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, particularly focusing on the existence and stability of solitonic excitations. For each type of possible soliton pair
s stability ranges are presented in tabulated form. We also compare the numerically established stability of bright-bright, bright-dark and dark-dark solitons with our analytical prediction and with that of Painleve-analysis of the dynamical equation. We demonstrate that tuning the inter-species scattering length away from the predicted value (keeping the intra-species coupling fixed) breaks the stability of the soliton pairs.
