Adaptations can happen within a decade. Look into radiotrophic fungi near Chernobyl.

Fungi are not a very good example of such adaptability when you are mainly talking about vertebrates.

The adaptations you are talking about were in fungi, in the presence of radiation which didn't kill them.

This is in comparison to fish, in which adaptations take a longer time, where the decrease in oxygen is a direct threat to life.
