The catfish isn't silver colored and moving around like the aro.

Silvery looking fish attract attention. Could be when the lights go out.

what should i do now?

how big are the Os? Just cause you don't see it happening means nothing as there are many hours it the day that you don't see the tank. I would look for alternate housing to separate the fish.

This exactly. I had a 5" O pick on a 10" Jardini until the Jar thrashed him one day lol. Can't even say I felt bad, he got what he deserved.
