If the Reapers leave the raloi, the vorcha and the yahg for the next cycle, they would be making a colossal mistake. If these three races are given time to prepare for the next 50k years, with the knowledge of the Reapers, there would be a high probability of them defeating the giant cuttlefishes. Dont think Harby would make that mistake. They would probably start harvesting them after the major races have been taken care of. Starbrat wont be too happy if the Reapers did spare them.

@Legionwrex, the reapers will defer to Harby.
