It is all good. I have the patience, though it would help if I spoke Spanish. I would try a translating program, but those have....issues.
The tank looks much smaller in the picture.
They will. I'm not sure how they will will do, may need more after. But food is good for them. Worms, as in bristle worms?

Question turn off skimmer two days? Waiting to discompose?
Some say yes, some say no. At least it is a good idea to leave the skimmer running, with either the cup removed, or allowed to overflow. The bacteria needs oxygen to live, and the skimmer adds a good amount of oxygen to the water.
I let mine run when I did my first cycle. It helps keeps the phosphates lower so you will not have as bad an algae problem. The shrimp will still decompose and let off ammonia. The skimmer will catch the larger bits and help keep the phosphates from raising as much.

Skimmer now it's crazy much foam
That's normal. Just be patient.
Is it foaming over into the cup? How long has it been running? Is this a change from before? If it is changed, how much?
And for it to work properly it will take a little time to "break in". It will need to build up a film which can take one week. You may need to adjust. Depending on the model, it you may be able to adjust the water height and/or the air causing the bubbles (venturi).

You will probably still have shrimp left over when the cycle is done. The 0.5 mm is probably copepods. Good for the tank. The skimmer is pulling out excess proteins in the water. That is good and normal. The smell is sulfer being released from the decomposing shrimp, also normal.
Don't run your skimmer.
