i have a blue butterfly super delta and a regular royal blue halfmoon female betta and i was wondering if they will produce any butterflies or not?

Heck no. You need to breed siblings, or cousins to hope to get 50% of your fry like that. In the above example I expect you'd need to breed the offspring with each other for at least 3 generations.

They should throw about 12.5% butterfly color pattern, but many of those will have rather sloppy edges and patterns. WIthout a superior breeding stock butterfly pattern will take 4-5 generations to bring out in the fish. You can best acheive that be breeding one of the female babies back to your male and if possible one of the babies from that breeding back to the original male.
If you are serious about getting butterfly patterned fish, you might want to check out a membership in the International Betta Congress and by your breeding stock from breeders that have a good solid butterfly line.

there's no longer lots yet written on dragon genetics, it is particularly a clean variation. whether, in case you extremely need dragon toddlers, circulate dragon with dragon, or a minimum of with a extreme steel/copper to get dragon. i've got had a robust dig around the information superhighway, and not lots has been written in any respect yet.
