It has been a standard first food for baby fish, at least as long as I have
been in the hobby (since the mid '50s).

The cost of that might be impossible to recoup in a market as small and
fractionated as the dry-fish-food one. Unfortunately, snake-oil pitches work
pretty well, for a lot less money. That, in turn, is a fault of the
customers and not the vendors.
The difference between Mike Reed and that other famous snake-oil vendor is
that Mike's general reputation in the Betta and Discus on-line world seemed
to be pretty good. I haven't followed him lately, but assume that it is
still that way.
