I'll put my money on the walking catfish: if you'll let them do their thing, they will sooner or later kill all your other fish. Before they may succeed, get rid of them :!: (or put them in a species tank, where they can only harrass eachother).

Then swap them: Pangasius with the others and the Clarias in the former Pangasius tank.
That is of course if you want to keep the walkers....
