If it's "natural" minor than it's the same series, but starting on
the equivalent of degree 6 in the major:
i: min7
ii: -7
III: maj7
iv: min7
v: min7
VI: maj7
VII: dom7
Harmonic minor has a raised 7 which changes all odd degrees:
i: min/maj7
ii: -7
III: maj7+5
iv: min7
V: dom7
VI: maj7
vii: dim7
As a subtle point, I would always use lower case for minor chords.
Hope this helps.
