They will breed pretty much continuously.
Even if you get rid of your male, female livebearers hold sperm for quite some time, and you can have several broods after the male is gone. If you can't get used to the idea of the fry being eaten, your best bet is to return the females and get males instead. They'll be fine without females and you won't have to deal with fry. If you decide to keep females, maintain a ratio of 2-3 females per male to keep the females from being harassed to death.
