I'll suggest a Rainbow Cichlid, they’re peaceful, colorful, and stay a manageable size like keyholes.
What to get next/final stocking?

Rainbow cichlids are a great shout — I’ve had them with cories and danios before and they held their own without being pushy. If you're leaning toward a peaceful setup and possibly a small group of keyholes, that's a solid direction too. I've found keyholes to be very chill even when breeding — they do guard their spot, but it's more of a "gentle warning" than full-on aggression.
Have you considered apistos as an alternative? Some of the more mellow species like A. borellii could fit the vibe and bring some interesting behavior to the lower zones of the tank.

So my current stocking is:
• one Bristlenose pleco
• one keyhole cichlid
• one electric blue acara
• one Bolivian ram
• 6 yellow rainbowfish
•5 sterbai corys
•7 leopard danios
So it’s fully stocked now, however the acara has been really aggressive so I think I’ll rehome him. Then I’m thinking more keyholes instead but I might adjust the set up in the future. Thanks for the help.
