yes guppies should have a filter. if you are concerned about the fry being sucked up(though ive never had a problem with it) try using a sponge filter.

nothing wrong with a bubbler ever in my opinion.

idk how many gallons a 60x45cm tank is, so idk what to tell you. you want to keep you ratio of guppies at 1 male to at least 2 females though.

guppies don't lay eggs they give birth to live young, so you want plants for the fry to hide in. i highly recommend getting some java moss for the fry to hide in.

Welcome to the forum Lancer.
1. A filter is good for a guppy
2. It does not matter whether you have bubbles, it is fine
3. You could probably fit 15 guppies in that tank
4. Guppies do not lay eggs, they have live babies instead. A good hiding place for baby guppies is java moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri. It is a very fine leaf plant that is good to hide in. This is an example of some in my guppy tank.
