Purchased three female Guinea pigs two weeks ago. One was sick and has been back at petsmart taking meds until early next week. The two here have been mildly showing dominance traits but it is truly going back and forth. Just yesterday the chasing and mounting attempts started. Also nipping. But again it's going back and forth. It appears as though neither piggie is going to back down! Is it possible for them to remain "equal"?

One or the other is probably in heat, and it may all calm down within a few hours. That is, if they're both female. You HAVE turned them over and compared the private parts to see, haven't you?
