OOP PHP Challenge 4/7

What am I doing wrong?

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;
    }
}
public $species;

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

  }

?>

See my post on step 7. In this code you have an extra }. You also have not extended Fish for the new constructor. Only one constructor per class is used.

I figured it out a few minutes after that. Still working on 7 and wondering if the folks at Treehouse made a mistake.
