Only problems with this assumption are:
1.) The Kirin is a mythical creature in other words fantasy, doesn't really make sense for it to be a mink.
Moreover the Kirin is not a fish so, also think the fishman ting is very unlikely.
2.) Kiringham's cloud ting is the same at the likes of Yamato and Nika and different from what the fishmen have. Hell for the fishmen, particularly the princes it outright looks like a ribbon
Fukaboshi for reference:

So Kiringham is most likely a mythical zoan.
He most likely has the fishbowl around is head coz he doesn't want to inhale the filthy air of the so called "human" world as is the case with most celestials. With regard to Kiringham's ability, like you've already guessed, Oda is most likely just making tings up. There aren't really any abilities that are characteristic to the Kirin from what I know. In some games, I know it uses lightning but part from that it doesn't really seem to have a staple characteristic ability so Oda can do whatever he wants with it ^^

Oh, I'll agree that it's FAR more likely that Oda is just giving Kirin in this story powers they don't usually have in mythology. Oda definitely likes to get creative with some of these Zoan powers sometimes. *Gestures to all the nonsense the Dinosaur Zoans were capable of in Wano*
But, it also would be like Oda to throw us a bit of a curveball. Make us all assume one thing, then reveal something completely different later. Probably as part of some sort of joke.
Also...I just think it'd make for a interesting twist. If one of the 20 Families is a Fishman, that actually raises some interesting questions about the World Government and Celestial Dragons. It's not something that you would expect, given their past actions. That could lead to some interesting world-building and reveals later down the road.
Well, we've never seen a Mythical Mink. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't exist. It could be a thing Oda decides to throw in here.
But, more to the point, I think Qilingham could just have "Kirin" in his name. And not really have anything to DO with "Kirin" at all. That'd be part of the joke, as it were. "What? You thought I was a Kirin just because of my name?! How rude!"
Specifically, I'm thinking Qilingham could be a Seahorse Fishman. Probably either specifically a Crowned Seahorse, Shiho's Seahorse, or a Short-headed Seahorse. Those three all seem to have horn-like formations on their heads that could pass as a Kirin-like horn.

Seahorses are neat!
Plus, we actually HAVE seen a Seahorse that has powers over dreams in One Piece before.

It's filler, sure. But, a lot like with the Strong World Animals showing up on Elbaph, I have to wonder if Qilingham's powers could be a nod to Noko from the Ocean's Dream arc. Oda might be giving us a few nods to filler material in the main story, just for fun.
This is completely true. Qilingham's ribbon does look a LOT more like a "Zoan Awakening Ribbon" than a "Royal Fishman Ribbon".
...But, again, it could just be a feint. We really don't know the rules for these things. And different "Royal Fishman Families" could have different-looking ribbons.
There's nothing stopping Oda from just saying that QIlingham's family's ribbon just happens to look a lot like a "Zoan Awakening Ribbon".
Plus, it is strange that QIlingham's ribbon is white, instead of black like seemingly everyone else who works for Imu or the World Government. I'm not sure what's going on with the Black and White Zoan Awakening Ribbons, but it is a little strange that one of the Gods Knights has a white ribbon, instead of a black one like the Gorosei and CP0. The ribbon being part of his body instead, would actually make things a bit more consistant in that way.
Look, chances are, Qilingham is just using a Kirin Zoan. I'm just putting the option on the table that Oda's throwing us a curveball. It's not likely, but I feel like it's possible. If only for the sake of a gag. Oda does love his weird jokes.

This chapter has actually peaked my interest in Elbaf for the first time, it started off pretty weak but is already delivering more than that anemic shit Wano.
And Oda makes a very interesting case for why teachers should be armed in schools

Finally a giant whose strength is proportional to the size of his body.
We have tiny humans like Goofy who can destroy Dressrossa with a punch but giants were all fodders until now.
With that said, he should have taken down that tree at once. Loki too weak but we'll blame the last seastone on him...

Gerd Owls call Piper too
Piper = Rowdy Roddy Piper
Goldberg = Goldberg
Stansen = Stan Hansen
Ripley = Rhea Ripley
Dorry = Dory Funk (with 'Terry' sword)
Brogy = Bruiser Brody (with 'Bruiser' axe)
Road = Road Warriors
It's strange that Gerd's name isn't a more direct wrestling reference since the other Giant Pirates seem to be. At least, not one that I can think of.
