Tadpoles like those are often pretty tolerant of water temperatures to an extent, and 70 sounds just fine. The warmer the water, the faster they will metamorphose and the smaller they will be, usually. Generally, ones who are tadpoles longer grow up to be heartier frogs, but that isn't always the case.
As for the tank you have them in, I hope you are prepared to change the water weekly, as tadpoles will quickly dirty up the water.
GOod luck with the frogs!
