Hi Colletah,

Your code is pretty much correct. There is only one syntax error: you forgot your closing curly brace for your constructor function.

Also, though correct in syntax, the challenge won't let you pass because you have added values that were not asked for in your opening declaration of the variables. Delete those... add the curly brace and you're good to go

<?php

class Fish
{
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
    $this->name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record = $record;
    }
}
?>

Keep Coding! :)
