Behavior (worrying me)

This is my new axolotl chimuela, my gf wanted her really bad so I told her I’d buy one. It’s been a big learning curve for me but I’m trying my hardest to keep her alive and happy. She has been doing this since yesterday where she swims like this for over half an hour making quick stops at the bottom and jumping back up. She only occasionally takes breaths but not too frequently. Ammonia is at 0, nitrites are also at 0 pH is 7.4 she is still eating and pooping, I keep the temperature as constant as I can at 60° F. Can someone please just let me know if I need to be worried or if she is just being silly🙏
