Stuck on OOP 5/7. Not creating a new object.

I am following the video and is doing the same. I don't see where I'm messing up at.

fish.php 
<?php

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

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

    public function getInfo() {
        $output  = "The {$this->common_name} is an awesome fish. ";
        $output .= "It is very {$this->flavor} when eaten. ";
        $output .= "Currently the world record {$this->common_name} weighed {$this->record_weight}.";
        return $output;
    }

}

class Trout extends Fish{

  public $species;

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

  public function getInfo(){
    $out = "name: {$this->common_name}";
    $out .=  "flavor: {$this->flavor}";             
    $out .= "record: {$this->record_weight}";
    $out .= "species: {$this->specied}";
        return $out;
}
//ending of Trout class
$brook&95;trout = new Trout("Trout", "Delicius", "14 pounds 8 ounces", "Brook");

echo $brook&95;trout->getInfo();
?>

Nevermind it was a object typo. I passed now.

your code

//ending of Trout class
$brook&95;trout = new Trout("Trout", "Delicius", "14 pounds 8 ounces", "Brook");

echo $brook&95;trout->getInfo();

CORRECTION

//ending of Trout class
$brook&95;

$trout = new Trout("Trout", "Delicius", "14 pounds 8 ounces", "Brook");

echo $brook&95; 

$trout->getInfo();

// trout is serving as an object reference variable, and how do u define variable in php? u start them with a $ sign.

$brook&95;trout is actually supposed to be $brook_trout. Treehouse made an error or something with that
