In a private chain who/where goes the ether reward??

Ganache is a local test environment. I don't think it's helpful to think of it as a "private chain", which implies a networked system with all the usual parts of blockchain platform.

There are no block rewards because block mining is only simulated; there are no actual miners.

If that account have 0 ether, that account is disabled???

If the account has an empty balance, it won't be able to submit test transactions, correct. You have a few options:

• Restart Ganache to reset the balances;
• Transfer funds from one of the other accounts to account 0;
• Pre-fund the accounts with a greater amount of ETH using the relevant field in the "Accounts and Keys" settings.
