The proverbial "fish out of water," tetrapods were the first vertebrate animals to climb out of the sea and colonize dry (or at least swampy) land, a key evolutionary transition that occurred somewhere between 400 and 350 million years ago, during the Devonian period. Crucially, the first tetrapods descended from lobe-finned, rather than ray.

Apparently the South American hatchetfish has evolved a rudimentary version of actual muscle-powered flight simply to escape predators.

Seahorses Are The Most Rapidly Evolving Fish Scientists Have Ever Seen. For the first time, scientists have sequenced the entire genome of a seahorse to discover that it has a higher rate of evolution than any other species of bony fish that's been studied so far. This rapid evolutionary rate explains many of the seahorse's strangest traits.
