Thanks, I'll add that to my list of reasons to nuke the whales.

What if the other species was hidden, like subterranenan or something so the two evolved on the same planet, but didnt really meet each other until space age.

And theres already one species that has evolved sapience while other occupied its world, the leviathans. They likely dominated that thrall species on their planet to get into space.

The Hanar didn't need anyone else to get into space... And they are jellyfish...

I took the information from the codex.

"Essentially nothing was known of the aquatic species dubbed "Leviathans" before Commander Shepard's report to Task Force Aurora.
No record of their species' true name exists, no ruins are attributed
to their civilization, and no influence on other races has been
recorded. The task force can only conjecture based on the limited
information provided by Shepard.
Their current world is unlikely their homeworld, so it is
surmised that the Leviathans mastered technology and spaceflight despite
their immense size and aquatic nature. Their ability to communicate
with and mentally dominate land-based sapients would have been a
necessary step, and so whatever homeworld the Leviathans hail from would
have included a thrall species whose civilization served their
purposes. Presumably their bodies can withstand both the extreme
pressure of the depths and the lesser pressure of a coastal area where
they might come into contact with these thralls.
Transporting a creature the size of the Leviathan into space
would have been a significant engineering challenge. It is likely they
used eezo for ease of travel, as the hanar
do, and employed cybernetic filtration to breathe air as well as
oxygenated water. It is unknown if the Leviathans have modified
themselves with the equivalent of a biotic amplifier, but it seems probable. The faster-than-light
communication of their pulses would require precise control previously
unknown to modern science. One can only guess at the innovations of this
species, and the Leviathans are volunteering no such information."

That would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind visiting a pre-spaceflight world where the two species are at war and you have to decide if and how to get involved in the conflict while possibly being there for an entirely different reason.

The idea of visiting a pre-space planet would also be cool
