Mean Female Black Ocellaris

Hi. One of my breeding pairs Black Ocellaris male died a few weeks ago. I wanted to pair up the female again so I bought her a picasso mate. She beat the hell out of him. At first I thought maybe the picasso was a female, and wasn't submitting, So I tossed it/her/she in my fuge. I then decided to take a fish that was tiny and thought to be a male in there - a fancy snowflake. She's kicking his butt. Do females who lose their mates prove difficult to accept a new mate? Am I making it more difficult by using a different color Ocellaris? I even tried seperating with a lighting grid for a few days to see if she'd get used to him. No dice. She's trying to rip his fins off. The only thing I can think to do would be to grab a small black Ocellaris and try that. Any suggestions? I'm going to go save this fish.
