If we define C(n) with C(0) = i then Im(C(n)) = 1/F(2*n+1) where F(k) are the Fibonacci numbers.
Here, C(n) = (F(n) + C(0)*F(n-1))/(F(n+1) + C(0)*F(n)) = (F(n)*(F(n+1) + 16*F(n-1)) + (-1)^n*4*i)/(F(n+1)^2 + 16*F(n)^2), where F(n) = Fibonacci(n), for which Im(C(n)) = 4*(-1)^n/(F(n+1)^2 + 16*F(n)^2).

FORMULA
a(n) = 16*F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2, where F(n) = A000045(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number.
From Colin Barker, Jun 14 2013: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3).
G.f.: (1-x)*(1+16*x) / ((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)). (End)
a(n) = (2^(-1-n)*(-15*(-1)^n*2^(2+n) - (3-sqrt(5))^n*(-35+sqrt(5)) + (3+sqrt(5))^n*(35+sqrt(5))))/5. - Colin Barker, Oct 01 2016
