Fish can only stay alive "under and in" water. Frogs are amphibious which means they can live both in and out of the water, because they absorb oxygen through their skin. I'm hoping that's what you were asking.

Amphibians could breathe through skin after they started attacking prey based on their activity rather than size, so they would suffocate if they couldn't breathe through their skin.

Fish don't need their skin. They use gill slits.

To maximize the surface area available for oxygen absorption in low oxygen environments such as the stagnant water many amphibians breed in.
