Yay! Another keyhole fan!

Maybe make it a South American tank?

A pair of keyholes
A pair of bolivian rams
A school of tetras
A school of cories and/or a BN

Everywhere I have read and from my experience, keyholes are very peaceful. Don't worry about the aggression.

No, I don't think that is overstocked, how about these numbers:

2 keyholes
2 rams
12 tetras
8 cories

Of course the numbers depend on the size of the species of tetras and cories. These numbers are good for a two inch tetra and a two inch cory.
