No, that is a compound word.
"This is the deliberate placing of two words or ideas next to or near each other for emphasis and contrast. She felt pleasantly angry."
The juxtaposition in that sentence is "pleasantly angry."

Juxtaposition is the process of placing two things side by side. In the case of catfish the juxtaposition (two words side by side) results in a compound word. Others are-sandcastle, lunchbox, mousetrap, barbell, rattlesnake, icecream.
