yes they do.
the oxygen in the air is already broken down enough so that the amphibians can breathe it. the process is slightly more complicated in the water. every molecule of water is formed of two atoms of hydrogen and an atom of oxygen. the amphibian swallows the water, and its body decomposes the molecule of water into its components (the process is called hydrolysis). then, the amphibian breathes the oxygen normally. however there are still two atoms of hydrogen left. these two atoms are bound in a reaction of nuclear fusion and form an atom of Helium. the amphibian releases the helium from its mouth, hence the weird squeaky sounds some of them make (frogs)
A certain species of Frog can live for months in a frozen state, and forms of bacteria can be frozen for thousands of years, but as for going without either forever nothing can exist in our solar system.

Will a fire belly newt eat your glowfish and guppies?
Newts are Amphibians and should NEVER be kept with tropical fish or fish of any kind for that matter. Amphibians foul (poo and piddle) their water and breath air. Fish need pure clean water to breath. The fish will be killed by the foul water even if the newt doesn't bite them if you try to mix the two.
How can neon fish breathe?
because water is how they breath and air is how we breath. we cannot breath in water so they cannot breath in air.
Why do frogs belong to the animal groups amphibians?
Frogs can breath above and below water, living between the two, making them amphibians.
What are amphibians the ancestor if?
Amphibians originated from from a tetrapod. Early tetrapods were like fish but may have had limbs to move on the bottom of marshes. In later fossils, the limbs were found further below to lift the animal off the ground. Eventually, amphibians arose the ability to breath through the air as well as water.
How fish and amphibians get oxygen?
They use organs called gills that absorb the oxygen from the water. As far as amphibians go, they have both gills and lungs and are able to breath from the water and the atmosphere.
What kind of animal breath through skin?
Some species of amphibians do not have lungs or gills, but obtain all their necessary oxygen and water through their skin. Other amphibians have lungs for breathing air, but use their skin to take in additional oxygen, as well as water, through capillaries in their skin.
How does frog and tadpole breath?
toads and tadpoles being amphibians have a special system of breathing organs called gills to breath inside water.
