Found him sitting at the bottom of the tank today when I got home :( looks like he may have gotten stuck somewhere between some rocks, or he got beat up by my Midas. I've been keeping fish for over ten years, never seen a fish scratched and messed up like this. He is missing a lot of scales. I'm hoping he makes it, but it's not looking good.

my first guess would be room-mate issues, i.e., the Midas . . . is there a considerable size difference between the two?

either way, I recommend isolating the Jag . . . if the Midas is tearing him up, he needs to be isolated . . . and if he is sick, he needs to be QTd
