BMX chain fit through a rear derailluer. I want to know this because on my singlespeed I use an old XT derailluer to tension the chain and I should replace the chain. Was thinking of using a BMX chain for there strength, and the cool gold colour you can get those in.

Short answer:
....Hell no

I assume by BMX chain you mean a 1" x 1/8" chain. Those are too wide, and will destroy the pulleys and cage in a 8 speed and especially 9 speed deraileur.
3/32" chains, and the like, are plenty strong for most riders, and are almost as cheap in some cases.
I think KMC even makes a gold one
