Here is one from the same contest, The ADA Contest 2007.
First, its called aquascaping, second, you don't really want to get into it, you want a school of neons in a 10g tank.
These layouts in pictures like these are the result of years of learning and experience, not to mention many hundreds and most likely thousands of dollars. This mixture of money and experience is combined with months of "growing in time" while being meticulously pruned and groomed nearly everyday. Odds are you want to get into bonsai too but don't have the time or patience.
But I'll humor you. To recreate OP pic: Seamless Amano 10-20g tank judging by the shrimp:~$50 Lighting: CF or T5, at least $100 Pressurized C02 injection: most likely ~$200 Substrate: If a pro plant substrate is used probably around ~$30 Canister Filter: ~100 Plus what looks like $30+ of dwarf sag and $30+ worth of java moss, and I count at least $30 worth of cherry, amano and crystal red shrimp.
I wish you luck, I do, maybe I'm just bitter cause most of my planted tanks look rather amaturish (as do most peoples who get into the planted tank hobby)
