Yes there are fish that can breath out of water, and in fact some fish such as Betta's and 'lung fish' are adapted to do just that. There are many other species that can gulp air, such as the mud skippers.

What fish if any are toxic to freshwater aquatic turtles?

You have things the wrong way round. Aquatic turtles make the water toxic to fish. Fish have to try to breath by passing the foul water over their gills. Turtles breath air so the poisons (Ammonia and Nitrite) in the water will not do them any damage.

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.

Can you have green tree frogs and guppies together?

You should NEVER mix Amphibians with fish. Fish need their water clean because that is the medium they breath. Amphibians poo and piddle in the water making it poisonous for fish. The rules for keeping fish successfully are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.

Do fish live in the water?

Yes a fish can drown if they are kept in water completely devoid of oxygen and they are unable to get to the surface to desperately gasp for their lives. Fish breathe oxygen, not water, they filter oxygen out the water through their gills. If the water has no oxygen, they effectively suffocate.
