Can i put goldfish in with my triops?

I was just wondering because my friend has a “comunity tank” with triops, really small red and blue fish, snails and those fish that suck the sides of the tank. its really cool. i have two triops and want to put them in with my goldfish. yes? no? yes? no?
my triops are about the same size as a gold fish

Will Triops breed in gravel?

I was going to use an under gravel filter that came with a tank I bought. However I plan on having the Triops breed. Will they still lay eggs in gravel. Will the filter pump suck up and kill off the eggs? Lots of care sheets say it’s best to use an undergravel filter but none of them mention if it’s “ok” to breed with.
Triops lay atleast 10 eggs every day, and have a life span of about 2 months, so they do carry them around..but not for long…
