I'm getting my 5 gallon set up. I have 6 female Guppy/Endler crosses.
I have a mini Aqueon heater (un-adjustable) And the temperature is 82-84. I plan on adding a couple Male Guppies. Also, I heard the hybrids are not fertile. Is this true?
 
It's not an ideal temp but it will be okay. I would seriously look into getting a new heater as soon as you can.

As for adding new guppies I would avoid it. In a 5g tank 6 endlers is cramped already. I would definitely look into getting a bigger tank if you want more fish.

The guppy endler crosses should be viable although I've never tried them myself.

How long has this tank been set up? I'm worried that you're heavily stocking an uncycled tank which will most likely end up killing the fish :(
 
I agree with the above. Drop the tank temp to about 76 F and don't add fish. If you have female Endlers you will have plenty of fish trust me!
