Im suppose to assign each property on the fish class with its corrosponding parameter variable, have I not done that?

<?php 

class Fish {
  public $common_name = 'default_name';
  public $flavor = 'default_flavor';
  public $record_weight = 0;

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

?>
fish.php 
<?php 

class Fish {
  public $common_name = 'default_name';
  public $flavor = 'default_flavor';
  public $record_weight = 0;

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

?>

Here you've assigned properties 'name', 'flavor' and 'record'

<?php

    $this->name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record = $record;

but you've set your properties as 'common_name', 'flavor' and 'record_weight'.

<?php

  public $common_name = 'default_name';
  public $flavor = 'default_flavor';
  public $record_weight = 0;

You're probably looking to match the two up, you could do this:

<?php

    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
