This study reports the expansion of the known distribution of the invasive fish Xiphophorus maculatus (Gunther, 1866) into the upper Magdalena river basin. The new record comes from a wetland in the Dry Tropical Forest biome in Tolima and represents the first collection of this species from the upper Magdalena river basin. An updated distribution for Colombia is provided.
