I would say no. Keyholes are a shy fish and in a small tank like that with sometimes boisterous rams, it could be a problem. Also with keyholes I would go with at least a trio at minimum.

Bolivian Rams are calmer than Blue Rams. They are the least bit boisterous towards other fish. They are only a bit aggressive towards their own species IME. In a 29 I wouldn't do it because, though key holes are kind of small I think they would appreciate a larger tank.

I actually have problems with the bolivians and keyholes in my tank and that's a 6ft tank.
Nothing major but they will flair and chase each other sometimes

I wouldn't mix Rams & Key Holes in a 29 gal. tank. Try to go with a 1 species tank & it would be better.
