Platy fish tank temp?

I just bought a new heater for my 15 gallon tank which has two platys and two guppies. I bought one of the more expensive heaters this time cause i was sick of them breaking! Anyway the heater does no come with an option to change the temperature as it keeps it at a constant 75-76 F. But im starting to think thats still alittle chilly for my fish. I have till sunday to return the heater if i need to for a new one so suggestions would be great.

    Platies and other Livebearers are tropical fish and must be kept at warm temperatures, that means 76F or a bit higher.

    but even though your heater provide the temperature needed, but i HIGHLY suggest that you return this heater ASAP and get one that has adjustable temperature control.
