@why-animals-do-the-thing not that I think this is hurting the fish, but is it really enrichment?
Anything novel being introduced to an animal’s environment is technically enriching, so yeah, they’re not incorrect in calling it that. It’s definitely not something anyone would plan as enrichment for a fish, though. It’s likely mostly meant to be silly instead of educational.
The fish was probably interested in it, too, it’d be a strange taste and texture and catfish have very sensitive mouths designed to inspect tastes and textures.
