It happened in my tank once! I had 3 'mature' female Platies, and all one
day, one of them grew a gonopodium.. Actually the anal fin turned into one.
No need to explain how puzzled I was!
As for the fish selection, it would be nice and useful to keep a pleco,
maybe a species that doesn't grow too big and too fast, it will need a
hiding place as these are usually shy and nocturnal fish.
