Yeah, they have an organ called a "labyrinth" which is basically a crude lung -- lots of folds to increase surface area. They can survive on gills alone when sleeping but when active they have to go to the surface to periodically take a gulp of air.

In exchange for HAVING to breathe air, it also means that they CAN breathe air, so they can survive out of water for a little while when other fish can't.
