Did the few die in the first couple days or have they died very recently? It's very normal to lose a few quickly from the chain stores if many were purchased. They don't always feed them right. Sometimes they're just too weak to acclimate. If you haven't lost any in a few days you should be ok from here.
Lost 1 on 2nd day, one on day 5 and one today, day 8.

That's is very random. I would keep an eye on the ones that aren't feeding with the group. They could likely go next. A feeding loach is usually a healthy one. Nice looking tank, gd luck with the rest of them
I had a big blood parrot in my tank when i introduced CLs, it killed a few of them. Ramming them constantly.
