Thai climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) and snakeskin gourami (Trichogaster pectoralis)are freshwater fish species commercially grown in Southeast Asian countries. This research investigated suvival rate and growth performances of Thai climbing perch and snakeskin gourami when cultured in brackish water (7.50 ppt) in salt affected soil. The experiments was conducted ina brackishwater cement ponds for 6 months. Water quality was also measured every 2 month intervals. The results found that average daily weight gain (DWG) of Thai climbing perch and snakeskin gourami was 0.597±0.017and0.048±0.010 g/day. Co-culturebetween of those fish species gave DWG of 0.592±0.022 and 0.038±0.004 g/day for Thai climbing perch and snakeskin gourami, respectively. At the end of experiment, the productivity of Thai climbing perch weigh was 121.67±2.89 kg and snakeskin gourami weigh was 24.15±2.10 kg. In addition, higher survival rate of  93.11±4.07% for Thai climbing perch and 52.00±17.02% for snakeskin gourami (T3) rared in brackish was obtainedin co-culture system (T3) compared with Thai climbing perch (T1, 87.33±5.78%) and snakeskin gourami (T2, 43.89±15.87 %). Water quality at the end of the experimental period found the difference in each treatment. The results showed that T1 found the highest values of many water quality parameters. Our study hilights culture of freshwater fish in brackish water has advantages for the fish framng in salt affected soil.
