Back legs sticking up?

[joxters]

Hello!
I am a new axolotl owner, I got this gal on Saturday.
I read online that when she does this it means she has to poop, which makes sense, however I’m concerned because her gills suggest to me that she’s stressed. What should I do? She’s not floating or anything, she’s at the bottom, her legs are just sticking up. (Keep in mind the photo is edited so you can see her better)

She actually just pooped LOL
And yes, the tank is cycled! I’m hoping she’s still just getting used to the place. Yesterday she was already following me around, so hopefully she’ll be less stressed soon.
