Nano's/Pico's can be really as small as you want them to be. It really just depends on what your plans are for your tank and what you want to create to determine how much room you'll need.

That looks like a 10g to me. The smaller you go, the more difficult it is to maintain water parameters until you get things settled and your tank matures - just something to keep in mind.
 
A nano people consider is pretty much anything under I think to be 29 Gallons (Don't quote me on it) They are harder and harder as you get smaller but they are so awesome looking just with a few shrimp and corals in it. Plus it's a lot cheaper too!
