the arrow it about 6-7inches hes a little guy and the tank is a 20gal

I feel bad for an arrowana in anything under a 55 at that size. You really need to have multi tank setups to care for those different species properly.

There are a few things you can do. You can leave her in there and let the strongest survive once they are released.
Separate her into her own tank so she doesn't get harassed and fry won't get eaten. (take 21-40 days)
Buy/make a fry saver if no other tanks available.
Catch her at 2.5-3weeks and strip her.

My opinion is to catch her, put her in another tank and let nature do it's thing. If she swallows which is normal for the first time then she will eventually learn how o hold them full term.

That is what i do.

i think she ate the eggs i put blood worms in the tank and all the fish were eating even her

Its not good to feed mbuna such as yellow labs food items such as bloodworms. If you want to feed something frozen then feed mysis/brine shrimp.

But that doesn't necessarily mean she ate the eggs...obviously i can't without seeing your fish tell but i have had holding fish still be able to suck up brine shrimp before, and they held and spit successfully.
 
How is feeding bloodworms to mbuna bad??? Of course some enjoy an algae based diet, but the occasional, 3x weekly bloodworm feeding is NOT doing any harm.
