Minimum depth for fish tanks

I’m trying to find out the minimum approprate depth and width for fish tanks. According to the RSPCA page on fish care the minimum depth for an outdoor pool is 30 cm. Similarly, when I looked at an online store, few tanks were less than 12 inches in hight and then they were usual more than that in width and depth (it’s a bit confusing because water depth is usually ‘how deep the water is’, but that corresponds with the height of the tank, not the ‘depth’ of the tank, which would usually be how far back it goes). So, based on that admittedly limited information, if I had a tank that was 16 inches x 16 x inches however long I wanted, that should be okay.
