I was wondering if it would be ok to keep 2 Convict Cichlids and 2 Firemouth Cichlids in a 35 Gallon tank?

It may work with really small juveniles, but I would go with one or other for long term success.

I'd say 1 Convict, 1 firemouth, and a raphael catfish or something for a bottom feeder. I wouldnt recomment tiger barbs, because I know a friend put in like some 20 barbs in his 90+ gal tank, and his 2 inch convict as of last count has killed and eaten 15. Sometimes, he doesnt eat, but still likes to kill and collect.
