The problem with evolution is that it does not work. There is only speculation
that one creature evolves into another creature. But it does not work in real life.

Do you think they are evolving into something else besides a fish?
I have not heard of any mechanism that would prevent the otherwise inevitable 'macro' result of continual 'micro' evolution, to use two terms that creationists love to throw about.

I have no idea what they are evolving into. I cannot predict the future. Nevertheless they are fish and they can walk on land - something you expressed disbelief in.
Just to add to this, here are some videos of these fish:
and a report from Fox News of all places about the evolution of walking:

seem to think there is an exception in your case with two ape parents. Have
you considered making yourself available of scientific study?

And a simian. And a primate. And a mammal. And a vertebrate. And a chordate. And an animal.
As are you and every other human on the planet.
