In a 40 gallon tall would this be fine?...

2 Jewel Cichlids
24 Tetras (2 species)
8 Cory's

Or would the Jewel cichlids beat up on everyone else?

If the cichlids started breeding, they'd beat up on at least the cories. I think that one or two female jewels would be fine, if you didn't get particularly aggressive ones.

IMO the Jewel's will beat the others, especially if they'll breed.

not sure about jewel fish aggression, but if they are nice, then the tetras maybe safe. but i don't see any probably with the cats

I agree Jason, that's exactly what I'd said in a previous post. Breeding jewels are particularly nasty.

maybe you should try and go with some more peaceful cichlids like keyholes or rams?
