Hi! I bought some waterlily seeds from online store, claiming they are tropical waterlily 'suwanna ' variety (white flower with blue streak).

I know fruit and flower seeds almost never give the same thing (daughter plant differ from parent plant when grown from seeds).

After one month the seeds sprouted, but the leaf does not look like a lily's

More than likely it is a water lily. Not all water lilys have round leaves. Some are pointed

I have a pond with waterlilies, but I've never seen a seedling before, so I don't know.
Like @Tjohn said, the first leaves that appear are not the "true" leaves, so you might not know until it grows more.
