-a 0 is not for "bruting", nor for mask attack (https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack)
to use a mask attack and/or brute force a hash you need to use
-a 3
from --help:
* Attack modes:
0 = Straight
...
3 = Brute-force
...
Also you need to specify a mask, so a valid command would be something like this:
./hashcat-cli64.bin -m 400 --username -o t.txt -a 3 --pw-min 7 --pw-max 7 hashes.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
