Leaf shape often varies due to tank conditions. How are the new leaves growing in? Trident or narrow?

Mine starts off looking like a needle leaf and will split as it gets larger and matures.

the new leaves are growing narrow on the narrow side and trident on the trident side

Not knowing the genetic origin of Trident, I wonder if it is a "sport" aka "mutated" form of the narrow leaf? The behaviour of both traits coming from the same rhizone would suggest that this is true.
