What am I missing, in order to make a new Trout object named brook&95?

hmm It dosnt state it wishes me to call it yet, or set up a return function to do so. Yet I am receiving the error track 1 is no longer passing? Is it a {} error somwhere?

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;

    }
  }
$brook&95 = new Trout("Trout","Delicious", "14 pounds 8 ounces", "Brook");
?>

The challenge question looks a little broken. The object you create should be named $brook_trout. The &95; is supposed to be the underscore.
