Generally around 1 month but they can store sperm for something like 6months. Pretty much all livebearers can continue to have fry for many months after they were last around a male.

Gestation generally lasts for about a month.
Also, a mother might not release all the fry in a brood at the same time and with only seven fry, it is possible that she will give birth to more soon.

What kind of molly is this?
