Spotted Raphael catfish killer?

[Deadeye]

Did it attack the fish or was it just near the dying fish?

Agreed?‍ But I added the catfish about 2 weeks after I had the other in the tank. As soon as I added it that’s when all my fish started dien 1 by 1

Any disease by chance? Maybe the cat introduced something.

Shouldn’t be a disease it was in a tank with some tetras for a couple weeks b4 I moved it to this tank. No deaths in the previous tank

+1 to Deadeye. Because wild caught fish like Raphael catfish come from, well, the wild, every parasite or pathogen they had in the wild comes with them when they are caught for the pet trade.
So if you didn't quarantine or treat, the catfish may have brought a parasite or pathogen.

Also every fish I found dead was laying in the back corner where the catfish stays

Did it bite/cut up the fish?
Sorry for so many questions, just trying to figure it out. Still seems crazy that a raph would even think about aggression.
If you have a vid of the cat definitely post it.

You're spotted Raphael looks so innocent but you say he/or she is a killer. Well strange things do happen.
