Do you know the actual temperature of the tank?
I always put a glass thermometer in the tank, even when the heater has one included because I was told in post here heaters were sometimes off a few degrees from where you set them.
They're usually 2-3 dollars at lfs, make good insurance against cooked fish.

Idk the actual temperature and thanks I'll have to get a thermometer then too make sure. The fish look fine tho & I'm using a submersible heater that has a green/orange light if that helps.
They're probably fine, what kind of cover/hood do you have?
A cover on tropical aquariums help to control evaporation, and sometimes the air between the water and cover is very humid giving the impression that it could be too hot.
I use glass tops (versa top or perfecto are two of the brand's), but the black hoods are ok also as is having a topless tank, as long as your fish aren't jumpers.
