You didn't specify the third dimension, and it's needed to figure the number of gallons or liters to get a properly sized heater. You can use this calculator to figure out how much water the tank will hold from the measurements: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/converter/volume-calculator.php
A heater should be 5 watts for every gallon of tank volume, unless you need to heat the water more than 10 degrees above the room temperature. If this is your case, figure the correct size, then go up one step in wattage (that is, if your correct size is a 50 watt, use a 100).

A 20 to 30 gal heater should do.
