First of all, a ten gallon aquarium is NOT suitable for Xenopus. These frogs should be given a minimum of a 40 gallon tank. Each frog will need that much space, but you can certainly keep them at a density of 2-4 frogs in a 40 gallon breeder.
76 is the max temp I'd feel comfortable keeping Xenopus. If they are kept too warm, they develop bacterial infections. My frogs used to constantly float near the top and shortly later, their skin would peal and they wouldn't eat.
There is a lot of bad info concerning keeping Xenopus, but in reality they are not for beginner frog keepers due to their huge size and temperature preferences.
