It's a well known fact that F-7s have short legs, however in the F-6 we had Gondola tanks, can these be put on our newer F-7 fleet?. Or is a dorsal fuel tank feasible?.

With a combat range of around 850km, the F-7 has about 200km advantage over the older F-6s.
The gondola tanks caused extra drag thus weren't deployed widely.
If having dorsal tanks was that convenient, the older F-16s would be first to adopt them, you need to strengthen the air frame to adopt this accessory.

Don't the F-7s have a robust air frame?.
But then again F-7s are more powerful than F-6s, can't more aerodynamic tanks be fitted?.
The MiG-29 do have dorsal tanks:

And so do MiG-21s:

Can't we do the same 0.o?

These are not gondola tanks
