About to go for my first time betta breeding?

[Beam]

OK, so I got a betta male on Thursday. This morning, he made a bubble nest and I started thinking that maybe I should try breeding once. But my head is spinning and I dunno where to start:
My betta male is pretty small and not very colorful, so he's probably pretty young (right?). And he made his nest pretty quickly, which means he's probably being fed well and in good water condition (right?). Also, he's in a bowl, not a tank, and I also need a tank size.
On the 26th (because stores are closed tomorrow) I'm most likely going to buy a female for him. I'll put them in the same bowl (is that safe? Or should I buy a tank and put them together and put some toys in for her to hide?). After they've chased each other, gotten her eggs fertilized, etc. I'll take her out and put her in a separate bowl. Here's where it gets tough: I don't want THAT many betta babies. I'm going to have to take some of the eggs out. How many is safe if I don't have too many people to give them too? More in a sec.
I think I'm going to keep about 2 of the males and give away the rest. Actually, now that I think about it, I think I'll have to start the whole process when I get a bit more acclimated to just this one. Maybe next month. But still, I want to get my questions over with. What supplies am I going to need? Can I just have someone take me through the whole process? =P Somebody gimme a website or something!!! Help And I HAVE done quite a bit of research (which is how I got that much of the process typed out) so I'm not as underprepared as I feel... right? X.x Anyonee help!

if a male is building bubblenests thats a good sign that they are happy and healthy

for a spawning tank the smallest i would use is 10litres no smaller 20litres or larger is better because it gives the fry alot of room to grow
if you buy a female you have to buy on that is smaller then the male other wise the male will not be able to wrap her and spawn
if the tank is large enough and the female looks like she is ready you can put them in together but you have to put alot of plants and a few caves in there so the female can hide
i condition my pair first then put them in the same tank by the next day i have eggs in the nest
if you take eggs out of the nest the male might eat the rest because he might think the eggs arnt safe
if you plan ofn spawning you should have
-tank 10litre+ to spawn in with plants live plants are better cause when the fry hatch they can eat the microscopic bugs that the plants create also a heater is a must!

-a grow out tank large enough for the fry to grow in
-food for the fry (baby brine shrimp or microworms or vinergar eels)

-containers to put the fry in when they get older

i hope that helps abit
