How long was the age of the amphibian?
Tetrapods (early amphibians) emerged in the fossil record some time int he lower Carboniferous, around 360 million years ago. Reptiles emerged later in the carboniferous, 320-310 million years ago, and were probably the dominant terrestrial fauna by the start of the Permian, 299 million years ago. If any period in geological history could be described as the age of the amphibians, it would be the lowere-to-middle Carboniferous.

What is the age of fishes and 1st amphibians?
The Permian period (280 to 248 million years ago) is known as the "The Age of Amphibians," because during the Permian, amphibians were abundant. I really didn't see anything as far as when the very first amphibians appeared. I would think they became dominant on land very quickly since they were the first land animals and had very little competition for food.

The most noteworthy feature of Paleozoic life is the sudden appearance of nearly all of the invertebrates animal phyla in great abundance at the beginning of the Cambrian. A few primitive fish like invertebrates, and then vertebrates , appeared in the Cambrian and Ordovician, scorpions in the Silurian period, land invertebrates and amphibians in the Devonian, land reptiles in the Carboniferous, and marine reptiles in the Permian. All reptiles increased in number and in variety by the late Permian. The plant life of the Paleozoic era reached its climax in the Carboniferous, and was then much diminished in the Permian.
