What you should do is treat the tank with salt, all fish can be "salted" your catfish will be fine. You should treat it with salt with every water change and turn up the temperature to about 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is this scratching a frequent occurrence? If so, start using table salt. It will not matter whether you use table or aquarium salt although the latter is still the same sodium chloride in a fancy package along with a high price for profits. Dissolve salt before adding to the tank. Use a dosage of tablespoon per 5g and treat for 14 days. Increase temperature to 86 degrees Fahrenheit or as much as the fish can tolerate. Maximize oxygen levels as well.
