2, although I haven't owned many.

I order two Azuls from IA, and a couple of days after being in the tank, one was unexplicably floating belly up. The other Azul turned out fine.

The second one was an Orino I bought from a fellow MFKer, and it was shipped to me from a vendor. I won't ever get fish shipped from that vendor again.
 
I have lost 4:( Three where my fault definatly I bought a cheapo heater i just recieved My three orino the night before anyway got up the next morning all happy to feed them and the heater malfuntioned the water was steaming:cry::cry::cry: I made fish soup Leason learned !!!! the other My other was killed by other bass...
 
My first ever Kelberi died while I was transporting it in a five gallon bucket.It was only about six or eight inches at the time but it must have been too long of a trip in that bucket.
 
Put two hybrids in the outside pond when I went on vacation last summer. Came back and they were fine. Two months later one jumped out and the other did the same a month later. Both were about 8".
 
Ive lost quite a few from other pbasses beating them up. Ive also lost my 14 inch mono cuz she jumped out which sucked.
 
4 azul's @ 12"+. Couple of small orino's.
 
I lost my last group of growouts due to a poweroutage. And once one died it all went down hill from there. And ive lost a couple before that because I wanted some pbass so bad, but did not do enough research and jumped the gun. LOL thats why im waiting to reload on some pbass
