Say Hello to My Little Friend

Was sold to me as a YoYo, but I'm unsure about ID. What do you think?

Hello, My Little Friend.

Maybe not a Yoyo.

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

Thanks, Diana! That was my first guess, too - because of the (repeating pattern of a) gray shade between 2 black strips. But the markings are so large and bold, I wasn't sure. For scale, the fish is 4" long, maybe a touch over.
