well my lfs finally got some bolivian rams in,all they were caring were german blue's picked up two unsexed fish if they are both males should they be aggressive toward eachother?because mine are just swimming together,my male krib's were getting very aggresive toward each other.picked up one female and they are both trying to get her affection.they chase her to a coner and do a little dance but she quikly swims away.after two pair up should i remove the other male krib.will get pic's of the ram's to see if any of you guy's can sex them.

Erm... No experience with these particular fish, but I believe that generally you should have more females than males, to spread the males 'affections' between the females, if you have more males than females, the females can end up getting stressed from being chased too much.
 
even if you happen to have 2 males, they should have enough room not to fight all the time. They will fight, but nothign serious

Here's an easy to see if you ahve male or female

ventral fins. When they are close to the vody, the males ventral fin will outreach the anal fin. The female's ventral fin will be shorter and they won't reach the ventrals.

Males also tend to have some yellow near the stomach and head
