Starting a fish tank: goldfish or guppies?

Background

Goldfish recognise their owners, beg at the glass and can live well over a decade with good care. But they grow large and produce a lot of waste, needing a big tank and strong filtration, so some recommend guppies, which suit smaller setups and breed readily. Think about tank size and maintenance time first.
