Can low ph in a fowlr cause cloudy water. Also yesterday my daughter decided to feed the fish and dumped half a bottle in there. I cleaned everything up. Did a water change and also added prime to the tank. Last night it was back to clear and this morning it is back to cloudy again. Any ideas?
Low ph.

Cloudy is probably a bacteria bloom from all the food. I doubt low pH would do that. Even though you cleaned up and did a water change it was probably enough to get a nice bloom of bacteria. Keep an eye out for ammonia. Ammonia badge works great for this.
Another water change will not hurt things. An ammonia badge is a small badge you put into the tank and it reads the free ammonia level. It says if water is safe or getting bad (need water change). I have seen them at Petsmart. Seachem is the usual maker.

FWIW, low pH doesn't cause cloudiness, but a lot of decaying food can lower pH and cause cloudiness.
